What the 2026 fellows are saying

“We literally 10x’d our customers and made a functional product.

The personalized feedback and coaching was extremely helpful in navigating new process of making a product zero to one.”

Xiangan
FELLOW · 2026

“I joined the fellowship to see how AI can change education. Through this fellowship, I became a builder and worked on something unique for learners. I never expected that to happen. I was able to grow in a lot of practical skills and pilot new projects with my learners.”

Barbara
FELLOW · 2026

“The fellowship reframed how I think about edtech, not only the technology, but connecting with learners and instructors and getting a product into the world. The best part was being around other like-minded people.”
