Our Open Source Residency Program offers students a unique opportunity to explore the world of open source projects, where collaboration and innovation come together to create impactful software.

Many people have great ideas, but only a few take the steps to bring those ideas to life. Our program will help you take your concept from a simple idea to a working project while connecting you with resources, mentors, and opportunities to grow further.

In Fall 2024, we’re excited to launch the second year of our program, providing participants with increased funding, enhanced mentorship, and more chances to share their work with the open-source community.

Participants will benefit from hands-on workshops led by industry experts, regular mentorship sessions, and customized support to meet the needs of each team.

Our program runs from mid-September 2024 until the end of March 2025, providing a comprehensive experience for budding developers and entrepreneurs.

Applications are open to individuals and teams of co-founders, with the requirement that you demonstrate the potential of your project and why your team deserves to be a part of this residency. We’re looking for passionate individuals ready to contribute meaningfully to the open-source world.

As part of the program, you will have access to:

  • $1,500 in funding to help cover project expenses (with receipts required)
  • Bi-weekly mentoring sessions with an Open Source mentor
  • Monthly workshops hosted by seasoned developers and open source experts
  • Two pitch competitions offering valuable feedback, exposure, and opportunities for further funding

Whether you’re just starting with your idea or looking to take your project to the next level, our Open Source Residency Program is designed to provide the support, connections, and resources you need to succeed.

Join us and turn your vision into reality while contributing to the broader open source community.
