Verdira Acquisition Fellowship 2025 Update - Timing Shift

Hey Search Funder Fellows! We appreciate everyone who applied to the Verdira Acquisitions Fellowship. To date there are over 400 applications and more come through every single day. It’s been awesome and inspiring to see how much interest this got. So, here's a quick update: We’re going to need to push the start date back. The original plan was early June, but the healthcare acquisition we’ve been working on got extended by about 120 days. That deal, after closing, will serve as the real-world backbone of the fellowship experience we want to deliver. New target is late fall 2025. We’re still 100% committed to making this happen, and we’ll be sending out a new round of timing details as things stabilize. Thanks again for your patience and for everyone who’s reached out directly, keep doing that because we see you. We’ll circle back with more details as we get closer. Best, Marcus P.S. Quick reminder for anyone submitting a video: Please don’t read off an AI script. Be yourself and be direct. It’s okay if you’re not polished or if you’re still learning. We’re looking for how you think, not just how you present. Confidence matters more than perfection.
