Think of it like a scholarship. We provide resources, mentors, and guidance; you pursue your venture free and unfettered. Fellows are under no obligation to Lightspeed, and Lightspeed receives no equity as part of the program.

Applications are due by March 2, 2012 and the winners will be selected by April 2, 2012.

2012 will be our 6th year running the program, with an alumni class of over 120 fellows. We bring back previous year’s winners throughout the summer to provide mentorship — check out some of our previous winners:
