Silkroad Fellows brings a group of undergraduate university students to Silicon Valley for a summer fellowship program to experience the ecosystem firsthand.
You’ll visit companies, attend events, connect with founders, and figure out your own path — whether that means finding a spot at a startup, working on a project, or getting plugged into a network most people spend years trying to reach.But most of what you get out of this depends on you. We give you the access and the room. You do the work.
Every fellow contributes to Silkroad Innovation Hub. You’ll help organize an event, work on Silkroad projects, or help out in some other way. Accepted fellows pay nothing.
Silkroad Innovation Hub is a community of founders from Central Eurasia.
We run acceleration and training programs for startup founders, invest in startups, organize events, and build a community of founders in the heart of the Bay Area.
