"The companies that venture capital has catalysed define our present. Companies like them will define our future. Yet, the industry that supports them is stuck in the Middle Ages from a learning & development perspective. Newton exists to transform the next generation of venture investors—VCs, LPs, accelerators & tech transfer officers—into modern-day alchemists."
Saul KleinCo-Founder of LocalGlobe VC and Latitude VC
"The Newton Venture Program provides accessible and inclusive training to those either wishing to break into or accelerate their careers in VC. By taking part in either our Fundamentals or Fellowship program, our fellows will walk away with the confidence to take that next step in VC with the supportive Newton Network community right behind them.'"
Eleanor KayeManaging Director, Newton Venture Program
“Europe has world-class universities, but a mixed record in terms of commercialising scientific discoveries. The Newton Venture Program will be the first programme of its kind to bring technology transfer officers together to learn with investors, as we seek to find better ways of developing the UK’s world- leading scientific research and innovation.”
Luisa AlemanyAssociate Professor of Management Practice and Academic Director of the Institute of Innovation and Entrepreneurship at London Business School.
“Europe’s tech sector has been punching above its weight for some time now, with great success in creating startups and scaleups. However the venture capital industry on which it depends has had, until now, no formal training or entry routes. This is an opportunity to put in place courses that both upskill the wider industry, while also encouraging people who might not have considered a career in VC to think again about this area of the investment sector.”
Julian BirkinshawProfessor of Strategy & Entrepreneurship at London Business School
