We don't want people interested in technology. We want people obsessed with building with it.
A selective fellowship bringing together emerging developers, product thinkers, and creative minds to conceptualize, build, launch, and grow real-world digital products.
Five things this fellowship stands for
Three divisions. One building ecosystem.
Technology & Engineering
Engineering, architecture, and bringing ideas to life. Ship working software.
Tech division →Product & Experience
Turn ideas into intuitive, meaningful product experiences people love.
Product division →Creative & Growth
Brand, content, and distribution. Make people care — then make it spread.
Creative division →Selection in five stages
- 01Application. Background, interests, previous work, availability, what you want to build.
- 02Division challenge. Practical assessment in Tech, Product, or Creative. No selection on marks alone.
- 03Evaluation. Real submissions judged on thought, craft, execution, and originality.
- 04Founder interaction. Ambitions, working style, ownership mentality, ability to collaborate.
- 05Induction. Founding cohort enters with division, responsibilities, and first objectives.
Commitment is the filter

Questions, answered honestly
Who should apply?
First-year students of any college are preferred. Second-year students are equally welcome. Third and fourth-year students can also apply — those cases are reviewed individually and deprioritized for the founding cohort. What matters most: you build, you own, you show up consistently.
Is this a club or a course?
Neither. It is a selective, execution-driven fellowship. You join a cross-functional product team and ship real products — not assignments, not tutorials.
What is the time commitment?
Minimum 6 months, with consistent weekly contribution, division meetings, and defined deliverables. If you want something casual, this is not it.
Is it paid?
The founding cohort is an unpaid, ownership-driven fellowship. What you get: real shipped products, a public portfolio, cross-functional experience, and direct product mentorship. We stay transparent about this.
How are fellows selected?
Stage 1 is the application. Stage 2 is a division-specific practical challenge. Then evaluation, a founder interaction, and induction. We select on talent × ownership × consistency — proven by work, not claims.
A limited founding cohort. A shared vision. Build something meaningful.
If you have always wanted to create rather than just consume, this is where you begin.
