Compensation and economics
The biggest practical value appears to be network and venture-process access rather than cash compensation.
Focus and fit
Who the program is for
Program thesis
The fellowship is for student entrepreneurs broadly, but it is embedded in .406 Ventures' early-stage platform. .406's current focus areas are healthcare, data + AI, and cybersecurity, and the firm describes itself as backing early-stage companies at the seed and Series A stages.
Eligibility
Applicants should be student entrepreneurs with at least two more years left in school at the undergraduate, master's, PhD, or MD level; the current page says nearly all fellows are already in the process of starting a company.
Selection approach
The official page links to a Google Forms application for Class XVIII and gives a July 17, 2026 close date. Current public pages do not disclose screening steps, interview format, or current form fields.
