Blue Ridge Labs Founder Fellowship

An early-stage fellowship backed by Robin Hood that supports founders building solutions to improve economic mobility. It offers $20K in funding, along with mentorship, research, and hands-on support to help participants move from idea to MVP and toward a fundable venture.

Eligibility:
Open to new or early-stage founders across the U.S.
Applicants do not need an existing company or cofounder, only a clear idea and the drive to build.
The program begins virtually, with later stages requiring some in-person participation at the Brooklyn studio.
