Applications are now open for the 2027/2028 Mozilla Foundation Fellowship. Mozilla Foundation will award 10 Fellowships for the 2027–2028 period. We are looking for extraordinary individuals working at the edges of human imagination, on technology that’s too early, too unexpected, or too ambitious for anyone else to fund.
Themes
1. Neurotech, biotech, and physical AI
2. Hard infrastructure: compute, energy, quantum and the extremes
3. Raising p(bloom)
4. Business models for a post-agentic web
5. Shared security and audit infrastructure for small organizations
6. Sovereign AI, public infrastructure and maintenance
7. Creative Advocacy (one Fellow)
8. Wildcards
Fellowship tracks
The Fellowship has two tracks for builders at different stages of their careers. Both share the same commitment: developing Fellows into the kind of technology leaders a better technology future needs:
Track I: Embedded Fellows
Track II: Independent Fellows
Funding
- Up to $125,000, 12 months, and a global network of over 200 Fellows who have done this before you.
