Through the Engine Ventures Fellowship, mentors across the investment team pushed my thinking with rigorous, technically grounded feedback, while a tight-knit cohort challenged and supported one another as we built deep investment landscapes and diligenced emerging technologies. Together, that guidance, community, and actionable insight sharpened how I evaluate and contextualize climate technologies as I work to translate lab-level innovation into real-world impact.

Engine Ventures Fellowship gave me a comprehensive and intimate look into the world of Tough Tech investing. I had the opportunity to work with the investment team on everything from exploring and debating landscape trends of highly technical industries, to discussing pitches, to extensive scientific strategy work with portfolio companies. The mentorship and supportive environment from every single person at Engine Ventures allowed me to both learn and contribute to the most exciting science and companies in the world of human health.

The Engine Ventures Fellowship challenged me to think beyond the science and consider the systems that determine whether discoveries reach real-world impact. Engaging with companies in challenging research areas expanded my perspective on how innovation takes shape across fields and taught me how to evaluate technologies not just for their novelty, but for their potential to scale, endure, and improve lives.
