Why Fellows Forum?

Since 2023, we’ve been asking ourselves: What more can we do to accelerate AI progress?

This year, we believe the answer is simple:

Bring together as many AI-native unicorn founders as possible and let them share their journeys — how they scaled from a few million in ARR to hundreds of millions within a single year.

There are only about 30 AI-native unicorns in existence today — and we’re proud to say we have 25 of them joining Fellows Forum 2025.

Our Principle: Traction First

At Fellows Forum, we only feature companies with real traction.

Backed by the AI Community

With the support of 35 Fellows and a community of 10,000+ AI members worldwide, our vision has gained overwhelming momentum.

In just the past 3 months, we’ve rallied founders and executives from some of the world’s most transformative AI companies, including（Partial List of Confirmed Speakers）:
