Velocity 2026 is held in Silicon Valley, California.
Velocity looks for young people from Sweden who are tinkering on side projects or have already started a company. Applicants must be Swedish citizens or permanent residents under 30.
This is a fellowship with an application process, not a conference open to anyone, so it fits young Swedish founders or side-project builders who hold citizenship or residency and can travel to Silicon Valley; technical skill is a plus but credentials are not required. The draw is access: fellows meet people from Databricks, OpenAI, Y Combinator, EQT Ventures and Sequoia Capital, and receive office space in Stockholm afterward, while founders over the age cutoff or without a Swedish connection cannot apply.
Startup and venture meetings in Silicon Valley are typically casual, so fellows usually wear jeans or chinos with a clean shirt or sweater, and a light jacket for evenings.
The program brings together founders, mentors and investors. It is aimed at young people from Sweden who are tinkering on side projects or have already started a company.
