The Hult Prize Impact Fellowship places early-career talent inside the world’s largest impact startup ecosystem. Fellows gain hands-on experience shaping founders, programs, and global initiatives while building networks that span 130+ countries.

• Join a global network of impact-focused professionals and alumni.

• Receive mentorship from industry leaders and Hult Prize operators.

• Access a paid fellowship stipend ($475/month estimated) and fully funded trip to the Global Accelerator in London.

Fellows will specialize in one of four tracks:

1. Due Diligence & Venture Analysis – Evaluate startups, model financials, and prepare investment briefs.
