OpenAI launched “Grove,” a structured mentorship program aimed at nascent AI entrepreneurs, including those who haven’t yet fully formed a startup idea. The program lasts about five weeks with workshops, weekly office hours, in-person seminars, and technical mentorship from OpenAI’s experts.
Participants will also get early access to unreleased tools and models, community support, and opportunities to explore raising capital or collaborations inside or outside OpenAI.
The first cohort will begin on October 20, 2025, run until November 21, include approximately 15 participants, and applications are open until September 24.
