OSV Fellowship Program

Description

The OSV Fellowship & Grant Program (hosted by O’Shaughnessy Ventures) is a prestigious global fellowship that supports bold thinkers, creators, researchers, and builders working on high-impact projects across science, technology, arts, culture, and innovation. Selected Fellows receive a $100,000 equity-free grant to pursue their project full-time for up to one year, along with mentorship and access to the OSV network of founders, investors, and experts. In addition to ten primary fellowships, the program awards up to twenty $10,000 grants to promising applicants, helping them accelerate early-stage work and connect with a global community of innovators. The fellowship encourages resourcefulness, initiative, and demonstrable proof-of-work from applicants who aim to create lasting positive impact across disciplines.
