Terms in plain English
The Camelback Fellowship is a 16-week hybrid program with an in-person kick-off, weekly virtual sessions, and dedicated coaching, run two times per year. Fellows receive capital, but Camelback's own pages currently conflict on the amount: the application page states fellows receive $50,000 in capital, while the fellowship overview and FAQ state $40,000. Per the FAQ, for-profit and hybrid ventures give a nominal equity stake generally between 0.5 and 5 percent, usually via a convertible note, and the application page describes a SAFE or other alternative vehicle; nonprofits and schools receive the funding as a grant. The application is closed as of 2026-07-22 and the site says it will reopen in Summer 2026, with no specific dates published yet.
