Application for the 776 Foundation Fellowship Program 2022 is ongoing!
We are looking for a wide range of ideas, as climate change is a technological, social, and political issue.
Once you are accepted, we’ll begin onboarding you with the rest of your cohort. Every quarter you’ll receive part of your $100K payment.
About 776 Foundation Fellowship
The 776 Fellowship Program is a two-year program for young people who want to build a better future.
776 Fellows receive a $100,000 grant and support from the Seven Seven Six network of founders, investors, and partners.
Goals of 776 Foundation Fellowship
Invest in young people tackling climate change
Some of our best minds around the world aren’t able to take two years off to focus on solving the greatest threat to humanity: climate change.
We’re equipping some of the most driven future leaders with the capital and support needed to fully immerse themselves in what could be the next world-saving idea.
Scale the impact of 776
The team at 776 is tasked with backing exceptional founders as early as possible in their journey, giving potential founders the space and time (and money) to build something great.
Enrich our community with the next generation of talent
This program will deeply challenge our Fellows to think critically and creatively and will turnout the next generation of great founders and operators. This Fellowship program can be the springboard for unlimited opportunities because it’s reaching so deep into a pool of talented individuals before their careers have even started.
PROGRAM MISSION & VISION
There are some big ideas that can’t wait—especially when it comes to climate change—and 776 wants to support problem-solvers at the earliest possible stage.
The Fellowship Program gives 20 remarkable people under the age of 23 the chance to spend two years working on the bright idea that’s keeping them up at night. They’ll benefit from a community of peers and access to the extended 776 networks through Cerebro (our firm’s operating system).
Follows Qualification
We’re searching for the builders, the doers — people motivated by problems and using that energy to create real, measurable solutions that will benefit underserved communities. We want our fellows to wake up every morning feeling excited and inspired by the project they’re working on.
This fellowship IS: Skipping or dropping out of university to focus exclusively on a project, idea, or initiative full-time that is working toward solving the climate change crisis.
Fellows must be ages 18 to 23 and can live anywhere in the world.
This fellowship IS NOT:
- A paid vacation
- A networking program; your job as a fellow is to ship
Application Deadline
The first cohort will be selected in May 2022, with a start date of June 1st, 2022.
