The O’Shaughnessy Fellowships & Grants program brings together the most innovative and undiscovered researchers, creators, and builders from around the globe to explore, create, and share groundbreaking ideas. The program supports these individuals with equity-free funding of up to $100,000 to advance their work.

O’Shaughnessy Fellows and Grantees are involved in projects like open-sourcing quantum computing, preserving endangered languages, assisting people with disabilities in Zambia, studying brain simulations, producing documentaries about the future of humanity, creating timeless viral music, building prosthetic hands for amputees, and exploring data storage in plants.

This program is open to anyone 18 or older, from anywhere in the world. If you’re a researcher, builder, or creative whose work has a significant impact on the world—whether through scientific advancements, technological progress, or lasting cultural contributions—this opportunity is for you.

Selected participants will receive a $100,000 equity-free grant to pursue their project for one year, along with an additional $10,000 grant and access to OSV’s network of founders, investors, and experts.
