An intensive program for the next generation of innovators in frontier technologies.
Paradigm Fellowship is an intensive four-day program designed for students, recent graduates, and early-career professionals curious about frontier technologies, market design, and the future of finance. Held annually in Northern California, the fellowship brings together young technical builders eager to shape how money and incentives move online.
Paradigm focuses on market design, incentive structures, and the intersection of technology with economics, seeking to understand how decentralized systems reshape industries and create new opportunities.
Designed for Students, Builders, Researchers, Founders. The program is in person. Participation is generally cohort events only.
Participants receive full coverage of costs including lodging, meals, activities, and transportation, allowing them to focus on learning and networking.
