$1,000 to build your idea
The WTF Fellowship funds new project ideas built on our agentic platform. Pitch the idea. If we fund it, you build it with our AI agents behind you, against acceptance criteria we agree upfront.
- $1,000 per ideaA fixed fellowship for each funded project.
- Clear criteriaWe agree what done looks like before you start.
- Build with AI agentsOur agents, site stack and hosting do much of the work.
- Remote, anywhereNo degree or past title needed, just proof you can ship.
What it is
We build and run a portfolio of sites and products with a team of AI agents that research, write, build, test and publish. The fellowship opens that platform to new ideas. You bring a project that should exist, we fund it, and you build it on our platform.
Good ideas answer a question people keep asking that nobody answers well, or solve a problem people already put up with. Show us the demand.
How it works
- Share your idea. One short application, no test: what you want to build, why AI makes it possible, why you're the one to build it, how you'd spend the $1,000, and how we can help.
- Agree the criteria. If we fund it, we agree the final acceptance criteria and timeline with you before you start.
- Build it. Use our platform and AI agents. We check in as you hit milestones.
- Get paid. When the agreed criteria are met, the $1,000 fellowship is paid out.
What makes a strong application
- A specific idea, with proof that people want it.
- A clear reason why AI makes it possible now.
- Deep knowledge of the area, and something you've shipped before.
- A realistic plan for the $1,000: the tools and services you'd pay for.
