The Sumeru Fellows Program
The Sumeru Fellows Program is 10 weeks long. It started in 2020, with the goal of providing meaningful business and career-building opportunities to university students of underrepresented backgrounds within the tech and finance space.
The program was born out of the recognition that there was a need for more opportunities and that Sumeru was in a position to help make that happen. The program features workshops, training sessions with external vendors, group case studies, and also a speaker series with industry leaders.
Each fellow has a senior mentor at a portfolio company, or Sumeru, based on what their interests are–which can include HR, marketing, operations, and other areas. Students meet with their mentors periodically throughout the program for career-building advice.
They also get to practice things like resume writing, mock interviews, and learn about networking opportunities.
