The Marque Ventures Fellowship Program Connects Warfighters To Emerging Technology
The Marque Ventures Fellowship Program integrates active/reserve service members, veterans, government civilians, and military spouses into the day-to-day operations of a highly-respected venture capital firm focused on national security and defense.
Participants gain exposure to cutting-edge technology and the frameworks used to assess viability of early stage companies.
“… Marque provided me the chance to make a real impact on the future of national security.”
“As a Marque Ventures Fellow, I was able to identify startups with relevant military use-cases and connect them with warfighting organizations eager to test and deploy creative solutions. My time at Marque provided me the chance to make a real impact on the future of national security and enhanced my understanding of both the venture and defense ecosystems. It has been a transformative journey.”
