Overview

The Silicon Valley Fellowship 2026 offers an intensive one-week immersive experience in the San Francisco Bay Area, USA. It is designed to connect founders, students, graduates, operators, investors, and technology professionals with the Silicon Valley ecosystem. The program includes company and university visits, talks by industry leaders, networking opportunities, mentorship, and access to a private alumni community. The Fall 2026 cohort is scheduled for November 11–15, 2026.

Coverage

This is a fully-funded fellowship. It covers round-trip flights to San Francisco (SFO), accommodation in San Francisco, local transportation, and program meals. There is no application fee. The "Next Gen Fund" is available to support exceptional admitted candidates who would otherwise be unable to make the trip, based on merit and need.

Eligibility

The fellowship is open to international applicants, including founders building new projects or companies, students, recent graduates, professionals, operators, and individuals planning to move into the Silicon Valley ecosystem or expand their professional and technology networks. Applicants must be able to meet U.S. entry requirements.

Requirements

Not clearly stated for specific documents, but applicants should fit the profile of founders, students, graduates, or professionals in technology or related fields.

How to apply

Interested candidates should apply online through the official website. The application process is conducted entirely online.

Notes

Participation in the Silicon Valley Fellowship does not provide a U.S. work visa. Applicants from countries not part of the U.S. Visa Waiver Program (like Ethiopia) must check appropriate U.S. visa requirements through their local U.S. Embassy or official U.S. government resources. The deadline for applications is October 11, 2026.
