DCP Associates Class of 2023 announced

Duke Capital Partners (DCP) is proud to present our 2023 Associate Class!

The DCP Associate Program brings together some of the University’s brightest minds from graduate schools across Duke University — including the School of Medicine, the Fuqua School of Business, the Pratt School of Engineering, the School of Law, the Duke University Health System, and more.

DCP Associates are given the opportunity to learn about venture capital by participating in every aspect of the investment process, including deal sourcing, screening, and diligence. They also receive training on topics relevant to venture capital like term sheets and cap tables. Associates complete our program with experience that would be difficult to obtain anywhere else in graduate school.

Associates are with us for two years but some stay longer, and our Associate Alumni are a part of the DCP family for life. We will periodically share Associate spotlights to highlight different perspectives on why Associates chose to join DCP and what they’ve gotten out of the experience.
