World-class programs for aspiring and practising professionals in venture capital
Our mission is to level the playing field for people from typically overlooked backgrounds – ensuring that the next generation of venture investors represent the world we live in.
Why does Newton exist?
At Newton Venture Program, we are on a mission to disrupt the VC ecosystem.
Seven of the ten world’s largest companies were catalysed by venture capital, creating trillions in market value and millions of jobs worldwide.
Yet the venture capital ecosystem is still not representative of the world we live in and the population it serves.


That’s where the Newton Venture Program comes in.
Newton offers training and development programs to help people accelerate their careers in venture, globally.
Our cohorts represent the future we wish to see in VC: 50% of our fellows come from overlooked and underestimated backgrounds.
With our unique blend of faculty and practitioner teaching, we are training the investors of tomorrow to back the companies of the future.
