M31 ACADemy
BY THE NUMBERS
As part of our commitment to talent development in Qatar, we are excited to announce that the 2025 Academy will be hosted in Doha next summer. This initiative will feature an expanded cohort of top students from both local and global backgrounds, reinforcing our commitment to nurturing talent on a global scale.
ABOUT THE ACADEMY
Since 2020, our Academy program has offered unparalleled opportunities for undergraduate students passionate about advanced technologies such as Al & Blockchain to enhance their skills alongside one of the world's leading Venture Funds. The program provides hands-on investment training for those aspiring to begin a career as an investment analyst with us, as well as introductory programs tailored for students new to investing.
During our 10-week summer program, students engage in identifying and researching high-potential projects within the disruptive Al & Blockchain ecosystem. They meet with founding teams, gain exposure to cutting-edge technologies, develop unique insights on these protocols, and deliver research reports using proprietary valuation frameworks, culminating in presentations to the Investment Committee.
Recent achievements at the M31 Academy include students securing full-time positions at M31 Capital and strategic ecosystem partners, while others have gone on to pioneer new and innovative technologies.
With less than a 1% acceptance rate, the M31 Academy is designed exclusively for Tier-1 candidates with a relentless work ethic, non-consensus viewpoints, and an unwavering commitment to Blockchain technology's core principles. The program provides accepted students with a highly competitive salary and top amenities including a personal driver, chef, unlimited food & drinks, and housing in the Web3 Citadel right in the heart of Qatar.
