इस ग्रांट के बारे में
The Alpha by a16z speedrun Fellowship is designed for highly technical students and recent graduates eager to build or join fast-growing companies. This unique program offers two distinct tracks: the Startup Track, which places fellows into full-time engineering roles with salary and equity at breakout a16z portfolio companies, and the Founder Track, which invests in individuals launching their own ventures. Both tracks commence with an intensive two-month in-person fellowship experience. Participants gain unparalleled access to the extensive a16z speedrun and EO Ventures communities, benefiting from curated networking events, founder AMAs, and mentorship from leading figures in the tech and venture capital landscape, including partners from Andreessen Horowitz. The program is specifically tailored for individuals with a strong software engineering background who are within three years of graduation, fostering a dynamic environment for talent development and new company creation. Fellows in the Founder Track receive up to US$250,000 — a16z invests US$150,000 for 5% upfront on a SAFE and a further US$100,000 in the next round, taking no board seat — and priority consideration for the flagship a16z speedrun program, which offers up to US$1 million in investment.

अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले प्रश्न
Who's this for?
You're deeply curious, highly technical, and have a track record of building. Fellows are typically exceptional students or recent graduates up to three years out of school.
Do I need to have US work authorization?
Yes. You must have valid authorization to work full time in the United States.
Can I apply if I'm a student?
Yes. However, if you're applying to join a startup, you must be prepared to leave school and take on a full-time role if matched. If you're applying to the Founder track, you're expected to work on your idea full-time during the fellowship period. Continued full-time commitment is required to be considered for additional investment.
Am I going to be working for a16z?
Fellows pursuing the company placement path are employed directly by the portfolio companies, not by a16z.
Is Alpha only for software engineers?
Yes. Alpha is exclusively for software engineers. For the Join a Startup path, fellows are placed into full-time software engineering roles at portfolio companies. For the Founder Track, participants must also be technical builders with a software background. We are not recruiting for other technical disciplines at this time.
Is the program in person?
Yes. The fellowship is in person. If accepted, you'll need to relocate to be near the a16z office for the duration of the program.
How many fellows will you admit?
While we don't have a set number, we estimate up to 10 for each track.
Can I apply to both tracks?
Yes. Feel free to apply to both, and we'll help determine the right path.
Can I apply to the founder track with a team?
You apply as an individual. If you're building with others, we encourage each member of your team to apply separately and note in your application who you're building with. We'll take that context into account during review.
