## About

The Exponential Fellowship (Go Exponential) fast-tracks early-career Spanish builders by placing selected Fellows at high-growth startups in Silicon Valley and New York. The program covers the J-1 visa process (and typically flights and insurance), provides paid placements with U.S.-level compensation, and includes exclusive events, mentorship, and access to an international founder/investor network. Fellowship length depends on visa category and experience (typically 12–18 months). Applicants should have strong ties to Spain and a demonstrated ability to build (technical backgrounds and product/engineering experience are recommended).

## What you'll get

- J-1 US visa assistance (visa, typically insurance and flights covered)
- Paid U.S. placements — fellows typically earn U.S. salaries (reported range: $80,000–$150,000)
- 12–18 month placement (depending on experience / visa type)
- Access to mentorship, founders, investors, and exclusive community events
- Network of host startups in Silicon Valley and New York

## Eligibility

Young builders with strong ties to Spain (born 1998 or later is a typical guideline), willing to relocate to the U.S. for a minimum of ~12 months; technical/product experience and a track record of building are strongly recommended.
