About the AgenticGHX Fellowship
The fellowship takes members from curious to shipping in one cohort: a real problem, compute and API credits, diaspora mentors, and a demo day. It is free — selection is rubric-scored, and what the rubric values most is demonstrated drive to build, not credentials. Strong work on any open problem is the best application there is. Cohort 1 dates will be announced here and in the community chat.
