Named after Alexander Graham Bell, inventor of the telephone, we are creating a new kind of digital experience, where voice is not just an interface, but a medium for connection, ritual, and transformation.
This is your invitation to join a highly selective, hands-on fellowship for technologists, creators, and designers at any stage of career who want to shape how humans interact with AI through sound, story, and emotion.
This isn't a job. It's a call to invent a new medium, rooted in play, powered by empathy, and delivered through the most human interface we have: the voice.
Our inaugural cohort brings together 4 to 6 exceptional individuals for an intensive 3-month program.
We're assembling a small, extraordinary cohort. What matters most is your creative instinct, technical curiosity, and emotional intelligence.

Projects with reach and real human impact. Build experiences that matter to real communities and users.

Throughout the program, fellows participate in weekly mentorship sessions, hands-on voice AI development, and community building exercises. Work alongside experienced founders to shape the future of human-AI interaction through voice, story, and emotion.
This fellowship also offers a rare inside look at how early-stage companies are built. You'll work alongside experienced founders who have built multiple startups, seen exits, and made dozens of successful investments.
You'll learn how to identify ideas worth pursuing, rapidly test them with real users, and build infrastructure that can scale, while staying grounded in human need and emotional design.
While applications for our Fall 2025 cohort are closed, we're building something bigger. Join our community to be first in line for future opportunities, exclusive events, and insights from the voice-first AI frontier.
