What you get: mentorship, a cohort, exposure to real deals, and a line on your resume that funds recognize. Some fellowships pay a stipend, some share carry, and some are unpaid.
How people get in: most run an annual application window. Strong applicants show evidence that they already notice companies early and can write clearly about why.
