Welcome to Fellows Catalyst.

Accelerating the Creative Economy.℠

What It Is

Fellows Catalyst is our launchpad for Fellows ready to build their own creative ventures. You’ve learned how the industry works. Now it’s time to own something. You bring vision and work ethic. We provide structure, mentorship, and access. Together, we close the gap between creative potential and creative ownership.

Cohorts Open Spring 2027

Eligibility 21+ with priority given to The Fellows Project Participants

Three Pillars

Pillar 1: Accelerator

Structured cohort experience. Business fundamentals, revenue modeling, brand development, pitch prep, weekly office hours.

Pillar 2: Network

Mentorship from professionals. Fellows ecosystem access. Introductions that matter.

Pillar 3: Capital

For Fellows completing the cohort, pitch competitions determine grants. Non-dilutive. No equity. No payback. Grants start at $5,000. Keep 100% of what you build.

Who This Is For

Creators, founders, entrepreneurs serious about building a venture in the creative economy. Might be a Fellow from our programs or someone we’ve never met. If you have vision, a plan, and hunger to execute, we want to hear from you.
