Announcing OpenAI Grove Cohort 2

OpenAI has opened applications for the second cohort of its Grove founder program, a five-week initiative aimed at entrepreneurs building with AI. The program is open to participants at any stage, from pre-idea to existing product, and provides $50,000 in API credits, early access to new AI tools, and direct mentorship from OpenAI’s team, according to the OpenAI Blog. This cohort follows the first iteration, which likely focused on helping founders iterate quickly using OpenAI’s models. For developers and solopreneurs building AI workflows, the program offers a structured path to accelerate product development with significant resources and expert guidance. The application window is open now, though no deadline is specified. This is a practical opportunity for those seeking to leverage OpenAI’s latest capabilities without upfront cost, but applicants should be prepared to commit to the five-week schedule and demonstrate a clear use case for the credits.
