What
Founded by Sandeep Nailwal, co-founder of Polygon and Symbolic Capital, the Nailwal Fellowship is a program providing capital to the brightest minds in web3. Each Nailwal Fellow receives $50k in grant money as well as access to Symbolic Capital’s resources and network in order to spend six months entirely focused on trying new ideas and building in web3.
Who
The program is open to founders from all walks of life, regardless of age or geography. We have a focus on backing individuals with technical backgrounds who are are able to get their hands dirty building tangible products and dapps during their six month fellowship.
Why
Our mission is to bring the brightest minds into web3. The Nailwal Fellowship is designed to provide founders with the financial security and resources to pursue exciting and bold ideas in web3. We know that taking the leap of faith to pursue entrepreneurship is scary, so we want to give you the support you need to commit to building.
When
We plan to run one cohort every year from September through January. Applications are open from May into July and interviews will be conducted from late July into August to select the 10 fellows in each cohort.
