Patch SF Applications 2026

We are now accepting applications to the Patch San Fransisco Fellowship 2026! The trip will consist of visits to start ups and company offices, free time to go meet people you'd love to have in your network & more. This will be in October 2026 (likely the second - third week) for ~10 days. Your travel, accommodation and group activities will all be covered by Patch - you just need to bring personal spending money!
You must be 18–21 years old (21 is a soft limit) and based in Ireland (Irish nationals and internationals studying or working here are both welcome). Most importantly, you're a builder who ships things, whether that's code, startups, hardware, communities, or creative projects.
While we ask you to not post this application online, please feel free to send to others you feel would be a good fit or into suitable groupchats.
Applications close ASAP!
