✍️ join us at the Dorm Room Fund
ft. some exciting opportunities here at DRF.
We interrupt your regularly scheduled programming for some fun news from DRF. Summer is winding down over here (where has the time gone?) and that means we’re ramping up for the school year—finding more awesome student founders, Investment Partners, and some new friends on the team here at HQ.
🎊 will you join us?
At DRF, the sky’s the limit: we’ve got a powerful community of friends and partners and our famous can-do spirit.
We’re excited to expand the fold, and hope you are too. Joining the DRF family leads to a world of opportunities. But don’t just take our word for it —78% of our alumni become founders or VCs after graduation, and nearly all of the rest are operators at incredible tech companies. See below for three awesome ways to get involved with DRF in the 2023-2024 school year. We hope you’ll join us to learn the ropes of running a fund and backing the best student founders out there.
builders, problem solvers, and tinkerers: join us as the head of product & engineering intern
DRF is seeking an active, full-time student to join our Engineering team as a Product & Engineering intern. In this role, you will be responsible for identifying problems-to-solve for DRF founders and building software to solve those problems in order to better serve student entrepreneurs and partners at DRF. You will work closely with the team to bring ideas to life and contribute to the development of real-world products that help founders. If you’re hoping to join a startup after graduation and want reps, a network, and exposure, this role is for you. Apply by August 15th.
calling all storytellers & creative visionaries: apply to our head of creative internship
We’re looking for a motivated, entrepreneurial student who can help us organize, productize, and execute to make it easier for founders to build and investors to back the next best student founder. We want someone who can dream up the next killer social strategy and newsletter posts, all while making sure the trains run on time—and getting the word out (read: you will be penning this newsletter)! This is a part-time internship opportunity that offers flexible hours and the chance to work with a dynamic team. We will be providing college credit for the opportunity for institutions that allow it. Apply by August 15th.
and last, but certainly not least: join DRF’s iteam
Student founders are building the future, and we’re looking for curious, confident, and driven students to join our team to find and back them. DRF is the first and only program to give students 100% of the decision making power (an opportunity most don’t get until many years into a successful VC career). Your average scout program this is not. We believe that you learn the most from the people around you. At DRF, you are surrounded by brilliant, diverse peers ready to learn from you and share their own interests, ideas, and expertise. You’ll build deep and long-lasting relationships with your most talented peers from across the country— well outside your university bubble. Our ever-growing community of alumni, founders, and investors is made up of some of the best in the world. As an investment partner, you’ll work with leading experts in fields to inform your investment decisions, and enhance your perspectives on emerging markets, products, and emerging technologies. Once you’re part of the family, you’re DRF for life: alumni hire, invest in, and consult with members of this community long after they graduate.
Apps will open formally in a few short weeks, but until then you can submit your info here to be the first to receive the application.
