What would you build with $100,000?

The O’Shaughnessy Fellowship program was launched in 2023 with a singular purpose: to support the ambitious individuals striving to build a better future for all.

The terms are simple: One year and $100,000 to work on anything you want.

The O’Shaughnessy Grants program, also launched in 2023, provides applicants with the chance of $10,000 to do the same.

This year, our 12 Fellows and 5 Grantees have surpassed all expectations in a wide-range of domains.

Keshav Sharma, co-founder and CEO of Augrade, has been building a 3D-modeling platform to automate design in aerospace, architecture, and a variety of sectors.

Isabelle Teng and Varsha Raghavan have been developing Rue, a marketplace for connecting brands and small businesses with event hosts.

Shay McDonnell and Diana Hrisovoscu have been democratizing social welfare support with Script.

Oghenekevwe Emadago has been working to reduce pollution and “period poverty” with Girlified, an eco-friendly and cost-effective sanitary pad.

Akhil Tolani has been developing CasetteAI, a generative AI platform for musicians.

Benjamin Reinhardt has been bridging the gap between technology and industry with Speculative Technologies.

And so, without further ado…

Let’s meet some of the O’Shaughnessy Fellows and Grantees of 2023 who are building our way toward a new horizon!
