The Ember Fellowship 2026
Be a part of our cohort
A fellowship program for recent grads to work in high impact roles at startups, tech companies and high growth businesses. We provide training so you are prepared to contribute on day one and with an AI-first mindset. We work with companies in emerging tech hubs (like Birmingham, Atlanta, Detroit) so you experience work and life alongside a cohort of like-minded and values-aligned peers. You’ll get unique access to leaders in your ecosystem and launch your career with a competitive advantage in tech.
Designed for those bold enough to take the unconventional path.
