What we do
Future Fellows finds high-potential young people, vets them, and places them in paid, scoped projects with employers, in research, marketing, and AI implementation. A Fellowship is not an internship. It is a defined project with a defined deliverable. The Fellow does real work, and the employer gets real output. See what that looks like →
We stay involved throughout, providing mentorship and handling the compliance and HR logistics of hiring someone this young.
A letter from our founder
We believe new technology tools are making young people more employable, not less. Learning today is permissionless and widely accessible for free. The most ambitious are already producing work that would have taken a senior hire ten years ago. Future Fellows is being built to support the ambitious, passionate builders still in their early-career phase. To help them stand out, and be seen by employers. To support their transition into a great career.
Where we are
Early. We are recruiting our founding cohort of Fellows and our first employer partners now, in San Francisco, Washington D.C., and remote. Join at this stage, and you are helping build the program.
