Applications for Humba’s Deep Tech Fellowship are now open!<br>For six weeks, you’ll sit shotgun with Leo and Anna as we meet founders building reactors, robots, rockets, chips, and everything else at the bleeding edge of technology. You’ll be in the room for pitches and participate in diligence.<br>We created the fellowship to show scientists, engineers, researchers, and tinkerers how a frontier-tech venture firm makes decisions and engages with founders working on hard, important problems.<br>There are no expectations of fellows apart from learning a ton and having fun doing it.<br>Our inaugural cohort last year included nine genuinely exceptional people: a regulatory expert from SpaceX, a mechanical engineer from Tesla, and a Skunk Works engineer from Lockheed Martin, just to name a few. After the fellowship, some became founders. Some became VCs. A few joined companies they met during the program. Others went back to their work with a new perspective on the technological landscape.<br>One fellow, a former SpaceX engineer and founding engineer at an aerospace startup, put it like this:<br>“I found the Humba Fellowship to be an incredible opportunity to get smart fast on the world of deep tech VC, startup fundraising, and diligence from a leading VC’s perspective. Learning from Leo and Anna while investing in cutting-edge tech and meeting with pre-seed founders is worth every minute no matter your role today or in the future. Do yourself a favor and apply!”
In the next few months, we’ll be running three more cohorts, and we want to work with domain experts and technical people who are curious about what’s being built and funded at the frontiers of technology. If that sounds like you, we highly encourage you to apply. And if you know someone who’d be perfect for this, please send it their way! Future cohorts get announced right here on the blog.<br>Additional details and the application are here: https://humbaventures.com/fellowship/
