About the Program
Spacecubed's AI Fellowship is a 3-month, in-person program designed for ambitious founders ready to build and launch AI-driven products. Whether you’re refining an idea or accelerating an early build, this residency gives you the structure, tools and environment to move fast.
We're selecting twelve high-potential teams to embed inside our innovation hubs in Perth and Western Sydney — working side-by-side as one connected national cohort.
Fellows gain access to compute, hands-on support, curated customer and investor pathways, and a focused environment built for execution. No noise. No theory. Just momentum.
In 90 days, you’ll move from concept to a validated product — with the foundations in place to scale.
