The 776 Foundation Fellowship Program is a two-year program for young people who want to build a better future. The Seven Seven Six network is searching for the builders, the doers — people motivated by problems and using that energy to create real, measurable solutions that will benefit underserved communities. .
There are some big ideas that can’t wait—especially when it comes to climate change—and 776 wants to support problem-solvers at the earliest possible stage. The Fellowship Program gives 20 remarkable people the age of 24 and under the chance to spend two years working on the bright idea that’s keeping them up at night. They’ll benefit from a community of peers and access to the extended 776 network through Cerebro (our firm’s operating system).
The fellowship aims to:
Invest in young people tackling climate change. Some of our best minds around the world aren’t able to take two years off to focus on solving the greatest threat to humanity: climate change. We’re equipping some of the most driven future leaders with the capital and support needed to fully immerse themselves in what could be the next world-saving idea.
Scale the impact of 776. The team at 776 is tasked with backing exceptional founders as early as possible in their journey, giving potential founders the space and time (and money) to build something great.
Enrich their community with the next generation of talent. This program will deeply challenge our Fellows to think critically and creatively and will turnout the next generation of great founders and operators. This Fellowship program can be the springboard for unlimited opportunities because it’s reaching so deep into a pool of talented individuals before their careers have even started.
Eligibility
You’re willing to skip or drop out of university to focus exclusively on a project, idea, or initiative full-time that is working toward solving the climate change crisis.
Fellows must be ages 18 to 24 and can live anywhere in the world.
They are are looking for a wide range of ideas, as climate change is a technological, social, and political issue.
Benefits
Fellows will receive a $100,000 grant over two years to work on projects to fight climate change instead of pursuing a university degree.
776 Fellows will have access to founder networks, various programming, and access to Cerebro (our venture fund’s operating system).

A paid vacation
A networking program; your job as a fellow is to ship
