Build real health products with AI. Ship in four weeks.
The Be Well AI Venture Fellowship pays builders who already code with AI tools to ship human-centered health software, hardware, and edge compute — each fellow is paired with a mentor at Be Well.
If you ship, you belong here. Craft, curiosity, and care over spectacle.
Takes about 2 minutes. No account needed to start.

Why the Fellowship
Build With AI
Work on real fellowship assignments using modern AI-assisted development — software, connected devices, and onboard/edge compute with local plus cloud AI.
Mentored by Operators
Each fellow is paired with a mentor at Be Well Incubator — operators who sit with the work alongside you.
Tangible Deliverables
Ship artifacts in ~4-week cycles aligned to fellowship workstreams you choose during onboarding.
Is this for you?
This is for you if
- You already build with code and AI tools — not just curious about them
- You can commit at least 5 hours a week and ship in ~4-week cycles
- You care about human-centered health innovation, not spectacle demos
This is not for you if
- You want a traditional classroom internship with no shipping expectation
- You are looking for unpaid resume padding without real deliverables
- You have never used AI tools in a real build workflow
