INCUBATOR PROGRAM
Thank you for your interest in the Incubator Program at Assembly Code.
For our first cohort, we are seeking Fellows working on education-related projects, including early learning, K-12, higher education, and adult learning.
We are looking for talented builders with specific projects in mind.
The program runs for 12 weeks and is focused on getting to validated MVP. Successful projects may be selected to receive follow-on funding for growth and scaling.
Fellows receive a $15,000 stipend for 10–15 hours of work per week over three months, including weekly cohort meetings. The program is designed to run alongside full-time work or other commitments. Additional funding is available for operational costs, infrastructure, or outreach.
Our first cohort will be small by design. We are looking for people who are not only passionate about their own work, but genuinely excited to support and learn from their peers.
The application deadline for our first cohort is Sunday, June 28 at 10pm PT.
