A Couple of Fellowship/Grant Opportunities
Fancy spending a month in Patagonia?
Our friends at Edge City are selecting six builders aged 25 or under for a fully-covered, in-person residency in a popup village in Patagonia (Oct 18–Nov 15, 2025). (
)You’ll have a month to ship a concrete outcome, with access to mentors across AI/bio/XR/governance/emerging markets/consciousness and more. Expect demo nights, salons, deep-work blocks, and village infrastructure (coworking, wellness, community dinners, etc).
Post-program, fellows receive warm intros across the Edge network.
The deadline is TODAY, August 28. Apply here.
Also open: SHIFT Grants support scientific and technological breakthrough projects that align with d/acc philosophy (decentralized, democratic, differential, defensive acceleration). $5k–$15k micro grants and $20k–$40k development grants are available on a rolling basis. Details: shiftgrants.org.
In case you missed it, we recently announced our 2025 cohort of O’Shaughnessy Fellows (Culture & Society, Frontier Technology) and Grantees.
Launched in 2023, the O'Shaughnessy Fellowships program discovers and empowers creatives, builders, and researchers who are ready to make their mark on the world. Fellows receive a $100,000 grant, plus access to OSV’s network of founders, investors, and experts. Applications are currently closed, but they’ll reopen on January 1, 2026.
