Batten Venture Internship Program (BVIP)

For students interested in entrepreneurship but not already committed to launching their own venture, Darden offers the Batten Venture Internship Program (BVIP).

This program provides Darden students the opportunity to pursue summer internships with venture capital firms and their portfolio companies. Students gain the experience of working for a VC firm or start-up, and companies benefit from having access to talented Darden MBA students for the summer.

To promote and support student involvement with these firms, the Batten Endowment provides a matching stipend to supplement a student’s summer salary.
