These are amazing opportunities. Thank you for sharing. The Anthropic Fellows, oh my. I believe you can only have one to two years of work experience. This is one of the only times I wish I was early in my career or else I would apply!
Thank you ๐
I had a very similar reaction when I was reading through it. The combination of mentorship, funding, compute support, and the chance to work on a real research project makes it a pretty incredible opportunity.
Hopefully Anthropic continues running the program and expanding it over time. It would be great to see opportunities like this become available to people at different career stages as well.
Most definitely!
What opportunities, communities, grants, fellowships, hackathons, conferences, or resources have you come across recently that deserve more attention?
I'm always looking for things to include in future editions, so feel free to share anything interesting you have found. If I feature one of your finds in a future edition, I will make sure to credit you.
Small request: If you are sharing a link, please avoid posting raw URLs directly. DEV sometimes filters them before I get a chance to see the comment.
Instead, use the opportunity name as the link text, for example:
[Flow Fellowship](https://example.com)and include a short description of what it is.Another excellent roundupโthank you for consistently surfacing opportunities that many developers and founders might otherwise miss. The mix of fellowships, grants, startup programs, and community initiatives makes this series genuinely valuable for people at different stages of their careers.
What stands out is how these opportunities go beyond funding and emphasize mentorship, community, and practical execution. For aspiring founders and builders, access to the right network can be just as impactful as financial support.
Looking forward to future editions, and I appreciate the effort that goes into curating these resources each week. ๐
Thank you so much, Divyanshi ๐งก
I'm really glad that's coming through because that's exactly what I'm trying to do with the series.
A lot of opportunities get shared as links, but the mentorship, community, and people behind them often matter just as much as the funding itself. That's a big part of why I try to include a bit more context instead of just listing things.
Thank you for reading and for following along with the series. Comments like this make the time spent putting these together feel very worthwhile ๐
Welcome Hema๐โฅ๏ธ
Would be cool to have such opps remotely/ anywhere and not just US :/
I completely agree. As someone outside the US now, I find myself wishing the same thing quite often.
One of the things I'm trying to do with the series is include as many remote and international opportunities as I can find, but unfortunately some of the most interesting programs still have location or work authorization restrictions.
Hopefully we'll continue seeing more organizations open these opportunities globally over time ๐ค
Hack with MLH & Digital Ocean
Sharing for next week's post :)
Thank you so much for sharing this ๐
I'll be featuring it in Edition #5 and will make sure to credit you for the find.
And thank you for thinking of the radar and sending it my way. It really means a lot ๐
Sad to see that Anthropic Fellows Program is only for those who have work authorization in the United States, United Kingdom, or Canada :(((
I had the same reaction ๐
It's such a great opportunity, so I'm hoping they'll expand it to more locations in future cohorts.
Would love to see programs like this become more globally accessible ๐ค
thirty grand for a founder sounds exciting on paper - it barely covers a quarter of living expenses for a solo dev. real support shows up in customer intros, not check size.
That's a fair point.
One of the reasons I included LeapYear wasn't just the funding, but also the mentorship, founder network, and support they mention alongside it. For someone at a very early stage, those can sometimes be just as valuable as the check itself.
Definitely agree that customer introductions and access to the right network can make a huge difference too.
fair - if the founder network and mentorship are real, that changes the math. my read was more that the dollar figure gets headlined in a way that does not match what it actually covers for most early-stage founders, but the non-monetary parts are a legitimate counter.
That's a fair observation. I can definitely see where you're coming from.
Thanks for the thoughtful discussion!
yeah, agreed - the headline number vs. actual value tension shows up everywhere in founder conversations. good exchange
I've been building in public for the last few months and documenting every engineering decision along the way โ from choosing BYOK over a hosted AI backend, to migrating a Chrome extension from MV2 to MV3, to designing UX for developers who hate bad UI.
I turned those notes into a public repository called Build Logs.
It's not a tutorial or a course โ it's a real-time log of actual decisions, trade-offs, and mistakes made while shipping three production Chrome extensions as a solo developer.
If anyone's interested in the raw, unfiltered side of building developer tools, it might be worth a look:
๐ Build Logs โ github.com/projekta2/build-logs
Also, I recently open-sourced a free code review kit called PR Review Canvas โ a 51-item interactive checklist, templates, guides, and examples for anyone reviewing pull requests. It's completely MIT licensed and runs directly in your browser:
๐ PR Review Canvas โ projekta2.github.io/pr-review-canvas
Happy to share more about the process if anyone's curious. Always learning from this community ๐
Wishing you the best with both projects, and thank you for sharing them with the community.
Thanks, Hemapriya! Coincidentally, I just published a deep-dive on the MV3 migration that I mentioned in the post โ it covers exactly what broke, what we saved, and what we gained. If you're dealing with Chrome extension migrations (or just curious about the tradeoffs), you might find it useful: Migrating to Manifest V3: what actually broke, what we saved, and what we gained
Merci , j'aimerais y participer je suis en dรฉbut de carriรจre.
You're very welcome ๐
Being early in your career is actually one of the best times to explore programs like these. I hope you find an opportunity that feels like a good fit, and if you end up applying, I'd love to hear how it goes.
Wishing you the best of luck ๐
