Fellowship

Build the future companies. Earn the equity and the credit.

A free workforce program for students and early-career builders. You work on real studio ventures alongside our team, shipping product, not running coffee. You earn equity in what you help build, and college credit for the work.

01

Product

Shape what gets built: validation, ICP, the riskiest-assumption tests that decide whether a venture is real.

02

Engineering

Ship real product on the studio stack: the AI-first build that takes a venture from zero to live.

03

Go-to-market

Take it to first customers: the channels, the motion, the proof a venture can sell.

What you get

Real equity

You earn ownership in the ventures you help build — real companies, not a certificate of participation.

College credit

Where your program allows it, we help structure the work so the build counts toward your degree.

Shipped work

You leave with product in production and your name on it: the portfolio that actually gets you hired.

Mentorship

You build alongside operators and the studio team, learning how real companies get made, not simulated.

Who it's for

For builders who want the real thing, early.

  • Students and early-career builders who want to make real things, not toy projects.
  • Aspiring product people, engineers, and go-to-market builders.
  • Anyone who'd rather earn equity and credit building a company than fetch coffee at an internship.
Apply

Rolling applications. Tell us what you want to build and where you are, and we place fellows on live ventures each cohort.

Which track(s) do you want to build on?
Common questions

Is it paid?

It's an equity-and-credit program, not a salaried role. You earn ownership in the ventures you help build and college credit for the work, plus real shipped experience that compounds.

Who can apply?

Students and early-career builders across product, engineering, and go-to-market. You don't need to be at a specific school or year — you need to genuinely want to build.

How much time does it take?

Fellows commit somewhere between part-time and near-full-time during a cohort. You tell us your availability when you apply and we place you accordingly.

What will I actually work on?

Real studio ventures being built right now — shaping the product, shipping the AI-first build, or taking it to first customers, depending on your track.

Do I really get college credit?

Where your program allows it, yes. Bring us the requirements and we'll help structure the engagement so the work counts.
