Marque Ventures Fellowships Connect Warfighters To Emerging Technology
As an investor in the defense and national security space, we focus on solving the challenges that will be faced by American and allied warfighters on tomorrow’s battlefields.
Marque Ventures Fellowships integrate active duty and reserve service members into our day-to-day operations - giving them exposure to cutting-edge technology and the frameworks used to assess viability of early stage companies allowing participants to bring those insights back to the Department of Defense.
Applications are accepted year-round supported by various DoD and private funding mechanisms. To learn more about the Marque Ventures Fellowship email fellowships@marque.vc making sure to include an interest statement and resume.
“… Marque helped me translate my combat experience to the needs of private industry”
“I was immediately integrated into the firm’s battle rhythm and encouraged to jump in wherever I could provide value. Evaluating early-stage companies building for defense not only gave me first-hand exposure to the inner workings of a mission-driven VC firm, but my time at Marque helped me translate my combat experience to the needs of private industry.
A fellowship like this should be required for all military leaders asserting the need for agility, speed, and innovation.”
