Shape your future at Innovis VC.

We are excited about your application to Innovis VC but there are a few things you need to know before applying.

In this section you will learn all the requirements for the application to Innovis VC.

Application requirements.

  • We are a student initiative that operates almost completely online but we think that some in-person meetings are fundamentals. For this reason, we require our members to reside in a city where one of our Hubs is located (or in close proximity to it).

  • To make the most of the Trainee Program, we recommend investing approximately 10 hours per week of your time.

  • We highly value applicants who have demonstrated exceptional intrinsic motivation and engagement in the past, as our student organization relies on dedicated members like yourself.

  • Since Innovis VC is a Europe-wide student organization, being a matriculated student is a requirement for participation.

To provide our members with the best possible experience we limit application to two windows per year. Here you can find the date to our current & upcoming application windows.

Application FAQs.

  • Unfortunately, we require our members to reside in a city where one of our Hubs is located (or in close proximity to it), and we do not make exceptions. This is because we are concerned that not being able to participate in in-person events may dilute the overall value of the experience. However, do not despair, Innovis is constantly expanding, and we will soon be coming to your city as well!

  • If you are in the last semester of your current course of study and plan to continue your studies, for example, if you are finishing your Bachelor's degree this semester and will start a Master's program next, you can submit an application. However, if this is your last semester as a student because you will be entering the workforce and taking a sabbatical, you cannot submit an application. To join Innovis, you must be an enrolled student and maintain this status for at least one year after your admission.

  • It's not necessary to be experts in Venture Capital to join Innovis! However, we are looking for individuals who share our passion and a willingness to learn. That's why a desire to expand your knowledge, along with the willingness to actively seek information, is more than enough to submit the application.

  • On our website, you can find all the information on how our application process works. However, if you are interested in directly contacting the person who will assess your application, you can reach out to the Head of Operations for the Hub in your city. You can find their contact information on the Hub page for your city, and you can select it from this link.

  • During the application window, you can submit your application at your convenience. We kindly ask that you avoid waiting until the very last day to make our HR team's job a bit easier.

  • During the Online Application, you will be asked to input your personal information, submit your CV, and provide a link to your LinkedIn profile. Additionally, you will need to explain your reasons for wanting to join Innovis, highlight the valuable skills you will bring, and respond to some questions demonstrating your interest in innovation and Venture Capital. In any case, you will have ample time to prepare your responses as the Online Application does not have a time limit for completion. However, it is important to submit the application before the Recruitment period closes.

  • At Innovis, we're excited about the potential of AI tools like ChatGPT, Google Bard, and others, and we often encourage their use in various applications! However, when it comes to our hiring platform, we're eager to get to know the unique perspectives and insights of each individual. So, while we embrace AI technology, for this specific process, we'd love to hear from you personally rather than a generic AI response. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to learning more about you!

  • During the Video Interview, you will be asked questions about your educational and professional background, related to your CV. They will inquire about your motivation to join Innovis and ask you to demonstrate your interest in Venture Capital through specific questions. The invitation email for the Video Interview will include any pertinent information to help you prepare, if needed.

  • After the application window closes, within 2 to 3 business days, we will reach out to all candidates, either inviting them to a video interview or informing them that, for the time being, their application has been rejected.

  • We understand that you would like to know the outcome of the final step of the admission process as soon as possible. However, we are committed to carefully evaluating all applications before sending out the results. In any case, you will receive feedback within a maximum of 10 working days from your Online Video Interview. If you have any doubts, you can contact one of your Local Heads of Department or reply to the email through which you were invited to the interview.

  • No, to ensure an optimal experience for everyone, we only accept applications twice a year, at the beginning of each semester.
