§ What's inside

A condensed week of exposure, access, and feedback.

The Fellowship is designed so every day earns its place on your calendar. Expect back-to-back sessions with real operators, long working meals, and one-on-ones booked specifically around what you're building.

№ 01

Frontier operators, not keynote speakers

Every session is run by someone actively building or investing. Conversations over slides, off-the-record over rehearsed.

№ 02

Matched 1:1 mentor calls

  • 2–3 mentors matched to your stage & thesis
  • 45-minute slots, not panel Q&A
  • Intros to their network afterwards
№ 03

Portfolio work sessions

Bring your deck, landing page, or pricing. Leave with real feedback from people who've shipped the thing you're shipping.

№ 04

Company visits

We pair each cohort with visits to 2–3 companies: a hyperscaler, a mid-stage startup, and an early-stage garage.

№ 05

Dinners that matter

Curated long-table dinners. Small groups, one prompt, no phones. Most fellows say this is where the week actually happens.

№ 06

Alumni for life

Access to the private alumni directory, WhatsApp hub, quarterly SF meetups, and the job/intro board — forever.

Common questions.

Can't find yours? Reply to the form or email info@siliconvalleyfellowship.com.

What will I actually receive?

A PDF with the full sample week — day-by-day agenda, session formats, typical speaker profiles, meal setups, and off-site locations. Plus a short note on how the upcoming cohort differs.

Is this the same as applying?

No. This is just the program brochure. Applications happen separately on the Apply page — we'll include the link in the email.

How much does the Fellowship cost?

Pricing, scholarships and travel-stipend details are covered in the program PDF. We keep pricing private until we can explain it in context.

Who is this for?

Founders building in or around AI, operators at a decision point, investors wanting deeper SF coverage, and graduate students considering the Bay Area. We select for trajectory, not credentials.

Will my email be used for anything else?
