A first-of-its-kind programme offering world-class education and support for entrepreneurial high school students. If you are curious, ambitious, and have the conviction to build something that matters, we want to hear from you.
This Fellowship has been designed for exceptional young New Zealanders ready to build what's next, before university, before your first job, before you even have an idea.
As one of five fellows, you will receive a fully funded scholarship, which includes a world-class education pathway through Crimson Global Academy, and a year-long programme with Icehouse Ventures that includes mentorship, engagement with investors, attendance at events, support from other founders, and $10,000 funding to put towards launching and growing a business.
You will have the chance to learn from some of New Zealand's most experienced founders, including Brooke Roberts of Sharesies, Craig Piggott of Halter, Toby Hilliam of Appetise, Stefan and James Powell of Dawn Aerospace, and Jamie Beaton of Crimson Education.
