The people who shape every cohort.

Mentors.

Mentors are the heart of the Fellowship. Each year we bring together a small class of recognised figures from the AI and biology world: principal investigators, founders, and research scientists, who commit to a one-year term. They open the year with the full cohort, run small-group sessions on research and career questions, stay reachable for the occasional async question, and make the final call on selection, shaping a cohort in their image.

Pioneers.

Pioneers are the broader constellation of founders, builders, and leading voices shaping AI x Biology in each hub. Their investment is lighter than mentor's. They give signal: they lend their name publicly to the Fellowship, show up at the annual flagship event, and offer Fellows the occasional introduction or short conversation.

Across Paris, London and Stanford, we're building a visible network of credible Pioneers per hub, drawn from the strongest companies and labs at the BioAI frontier.
