Activate Anywhere Fellows:
Connected but not co-located.

New for Cohort 2022, Activate Anywhere is our community of entrepreneurial fellows based in research facilities around the U.S.

Activate Anywhere’s dedicated fellowship team is committed to providing fellows with the mentorship, education, community, and network they need to succeed. Fellows in the Activate Anywhere Community benefit from the experience of Activate’s national network of industry leaders, investors, and philanthropists, and join the tight-knit community of almost 200 Activate Fellows across the country.

Activate Anywhere supports your entrepreneurial journey, your way.

Your Local Facilities, Our Unrivaled Support.

Every U.S. region is home to scientists and engineers with a vision for solving big problems. Activate Anywhere fosters and funds your work, empowering you from your local ecosystem to bring your groundbreaking research to market—faster and with more impact.

There are many types of research facilities in the U.S. where Activate Anywhere fellows can thrive. Fellows have the option to base their operations from facilities such as entrepreneurial centers geared to help scientists bring their work to market, incubators or co-working centers with laboratory space, or university research centers with specialized testing equipment.

As long as your proposed working arrangements meet some basic requirements, we will support your entrepreneurial journey wherever you are in the U.S. For more details on where and how Activate Anywhere fellows can conduct their work, as well as frequently asked questions about the Activate Fellowship, visit our FAQ.
