Venture for America Community Collective (VFACC) is the group of volunteers who have been working actively to build support structures and share knowledge since the August 2024 cease-of-operations. VFACC has secured a promise of funds from Andrew Yang to continue building out alumni-led initiatives and structure. In order to govern these funds and oversee the hiring of a Fellow to do that work, a special governing board was organized and voted in (open to the entire community) a few weeks ago. This group within VFACC is made up of Connie Bowen (‘16, St. Louis), Cameron Champion (‘20, Birmingham), and Gabi Rudnick (‘23, Philadelphia).
