About This Fellowship
The General Intelligence Fellowship is an experimental 30-day program designed for ambitious individuals and small teams ready to launch a company using AI agents. Backed by The General Intelligence Company (which raised an $8.7M seed round), the fellowship provides access to Cofounder 2 — a platform that orchestrates AI agents to run entire business operations from development to marketing.
Fellows receive $1,000 upfront with no strings attached, plus $100/day in Cofounder 2 platform credits (totaling $3,000 over 30 days) including code generation capabilities. There's an additional $1,000 bonus if fellows reach $1,000 in revenue during the program — creating a clear incentive to build something real, fast.
What makes this fellowship distinctive is its zero-equity model: founders fully own their company and all intellectual property. The program is fully remote, runs on Discord, and is open globally. It's a bet that AI-native companies can be built in 30 days with the right tooling.
