Focus and fit
Who the program is for
Program thesis
The fellowship supports seed-stage investing and deal sourcing across Susa's broad early-stage technology thesis. Official and secondary sources emphasize venture-backed founders, operators, students, AI, logistics, fintech, B2B/software, frontier, and fellow-led deal/community networks rather than a single sector mandate.
Eligibility
The official page targets venture-backed founders, operators at top companies, and exceptional students. A 2026 Susa/KP Fellows Waterloo mixer says the fellowship has included students from top universities and engineers from companies including OpenAI, xAI, and Modal.
Selection approach
Official FAQ says applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, the first 2025 review began September 12, 2025 with interviews the following week, and additional applications were reviewed as space permitted. Current page says the 2025 cohort is finalized and candidates should check back Summer/Fall 2026.
