Camelback Ventures Fellowship 2026

Camelback Ventures is committed to empowering entrepreneurs to create impactful solutions that address systemic inequities in Education and Technology. We offer a rigorous accelerator, the Camelback Fellowship, for innovative, driven entrepreneurs.

We support early-stage entrepreneurs whose ventures’ address inequities, particularly those who are closely connected to the problems they aim to solve and the communities they serve. We prioritize entrepreneurs who have demonstrated a commitment to creating solutions for marginalized populations.

The Camelback Fellowship offers support through:

• Coaching - 1:1 relationship with a coach who creates a road map specifically focused to help you reach established goals
• Capital - Camelback invests in each organization we support, and tailors funding levels for the different stages of acceptance for each track. Ventures are in a “startup” phase and receive $40,000 in our “friends and family” round. For-profits and hybrids receive as a SAFE note or some other alternative funding vehicle; nonprofits and schools receive as grants.
• Connections -  meetings with investors, potential partners and customers, and content experts
• Community - tight-knit experience through the entire cohort and within tracks, as well as extended Camelback family (including past and present Fellows and Startup Coaches, as well as friends who can’t wait to support new Fellows)
• Curriculum - an intense program we’ve created to empower undervalued entrepreneurs.

The Fellowship is hosted as a hybrid experience including an in-person kick-off and graduation as well as virtual asynchronous and synchronous content in between. Key dates will be announced for travel and programming prior to confirming Fellow selection.
