Parth Student Ventures aims to become Nepal’s first student-led startup ecosystem enabler actively intersecting with such student founders to help them turn their dream into reality while also helping students understand and experience the working of the entrepreneurial ecosystem. The mission of PSV is to not only bridge that gap for Nepali student founders with stake-free, grant-seed investments ranging from NRs 10k-100k allowing them to build and validate their ideas but also educate them well to connect with potential investors for follow-up funding.
While we do understand that this is a voluntary role and might seem a little too daunting, we promise you that you will be equipped with all relevant skills/knowledge prior to operations. There will be a comprehensive training program that will walk you through the working of all the open roles. After the training program, we expect you to dedicate around 2-3 hours per week on the lower end to around 6-8 hours per week on the higher end.
