Converge 2 is a six-week program aimed at exceptional engineers, designers, researchers, and product builders using AI, offering them tech talks, office hours, social events, and discussions with leading AI practitioners. Participants will also receive a $1 million investment from the OpenAI Startup Fund and join their community of builders. The program encourages applications from founders of all backgrounds and experience levels, including those from underrepresented groups and outside the U.S. The application deadline is January 26, 2024. The program will run from March 11, 2024, to April 19, 2024, requiring a time commitment of around 4-6 hours per week. The first and last weeks are in-person in San Francisco, with travel costs covered, while the remaining weeks can be completed remotely.
