Launched in 2024, the Entrepreneurial Fellowship is designed for MBA students interested in translating tough tech from discovery to scale. Fellows work alongside investors, operators, and entrepreneurs‑in‑residence, building the skills and judgment required to source, diligence, and lead in the tough‑tech ecosystem.

The Entrepreneurial Fellowship runs in collaboration with the traditional Engine Ventures Fellowship, creating a distinct environment where technical and business minds come together to evaluate and accelerate high-potential Tough Tech opportunities.

Together, these programs cultivate a community of future founders, investors, and leaders shaping the next generation of foundational industries.
