Fellowship


We fund exceptional builders under 25 to spend a month at Edge City popup villages where the brightest minds at the frontiers of technology, science, and culture collaborate to build a brighter future.
Overview
What
Each fellow gets one month at an Edge City popup village. We cover flights, accommodation, ticket, and provide a stipend for meals. You'll have access to mentorship, dedicated workspaces, and a community of builders working on hard problems.
Why
We believe that bringing together truly exceptional talent and giving them space, mentorship, and proximity to multidisciplinary peers is enough to catalyze magically weird ideas into real projects. Long-term, fellows tap the Edge and Long Journey networks for funding, collaborators, and the next chapter of their work.
You
Builders under 25 working on something unusual and big. You bring agency, a kernel of an idea worth a month of focused exploration, and the willingness to keep trying. From any background, anywhere in the world. We back people on paths that traditional fellowships overlook.
WHO
The fellowship is run by Edge City and Long Journey Ventures. Edge City hosts month-long popup villages where people at the frontiers of technology, science, and culture live and work together. Long Journey is an early-stage venture firm whose portfolio includes SpaceX, Notion, DeepMind, and dozens of leading companies.
Past fellows have gone on to found startups, raise millions from leading orgs like NVIDIA, and redefine their fields.
