Join Innovation Fund staff for an information session regarding the Innovation Fund Associates (IFA) program.

The University of Chicago Innovation Fund Associates are an interdisciplinary group of 20 students and post-docs that aid the Innovation Fund in its Spring and Fall investment cycles. Associates act as venture capital associates, performing due diligence on innovative ventures coming out of the University of Chicago ecosystem.

The IFA program is structured as an apprenticeship, where associates learn-by-doing as part of an interdisciplinary team. Associates deep dive into one investment opportunity per cycle and get a close-up look at the commercialization process and what it takes to move a technology from the lab into the real world.

Applications are due October 20th at 11am.
