For undergraduates who build
2026–27 cohort
GC Research
Fellowship
The best student builders aren’t short on ideas. They’re short on compute.
The GC Research Fellowship supports roughly 20 undergraduates at leading universities. Each fellow receives up to $25K in compute from Modal* for a 90-day project of their own. Fellows also become part of the GC community, building alongside peers and learning from our portfolio founders and investment team.

- When
- Applications open Oct 27, 2026 and close Nov 18, 2026. We review on a rolling basis, so earlier is better.
