Introducing the 16VC Founder Fellowship
Backing early-stage builders with capital, support, and a team that builds with you
We’re excited to officially open applications for the 16VC Founder Fellowship — a remote-first program designed for ambitious early-stage founders. Whether you’re just starting out or refining an idea, this is your launchpad to build something bold.
Why We Built This Fellowship
At 16VC, we back the future of AI & tech. Our mission is simple: invest in visionary founders pushing the boundaries of what's possible. But we don’t just write checks — we roll up our sleeves and build with you.
We’ve seen that early-stage founders need more than capital — they need community, guidance, and real hands-on support. That’s exactly what the Fellowship offers.
What You’ll Get
✅ Up to $15K in non-dilutive capital
✅ 1:1 mentorship from founders, operators & investors
✅ Access to the 16VC studio team for product & strategy support
✅ A remote-first community of early-stage builders
✅ Warm intros to future capital partners
