What's a unique way to spend your first semester at Carnegie Mellon? Spend part of it in Boston as a fellow for a hot venture capital firm, of course! The firm, .406 Ventures, selected Todd Medema (TPR'14) for its fellowship program, making him the firm's youngest fellow to date. Founded in 2005, .406 Ventures has created approximately $4 billion of shareholder value in more than 20 companies. During the two-year fellowship, Medema will learn the ins and outs of entrepreneurial pitches and how to identify potential investments.
