Role: Distilled Intelligence (DI) Ambassador

Location: Remote (with a focus on top-tier entrepreneurship campuses)

Compensation: Unpaid, high-impact experience

Timeline: Applications close June 1, 2025

Overview:

DI is Fortify Ventures’ premier startup competition — where top founders pitch to world-class investors. As we scale for this year’s event, we’re launching a small, selective Ambassador Program to activate our presence on elite campuses and attract the next wave of breakout companies.

We’re looking for 10–25 student leaders who want to plug directly into the venture ecosystem, sharpen their sourcing instincts, and build real relationships with investors and founders. You’ll work closely with the Fortify team to surface exceptional startups and spread the word about DI on your campus. If you’re hustling to build your own network in tech and startups, this is a direct line into the venture world.

What You’ll Do:

• Spreading the word about Distilled Intelligence on your campus and in your network
• Identify and recruit high-quality early-stage founders with real traction, referring the strongest startups and founders to apply to DI
• Plug DI into your school’s most relevant channels (founder groups, accelerators, VCs, newsletters, professors, events, pitch competitions, etc.)
• Build real relationships that drive engagement — valuing signal over noise
• Act as a node for DI on campus and a bridge to the national startup ecosystem

What You Get:

• A free ticket to DI (October 2025) if you have standout engagement
• School credit, if applicable
• Ongoing mentorship and exposure to how real VCs screen and diligence deals
• Resume credibility, real deal exposure, and the opportunity to build your sourcing track record before graduation
• A network of DI Ambassadors from across the country
• You own the relationships you build — this is your pipeline
