The Polarity Fellowship is officially over.
Four months ago, my summer plans at Wealthsimple were already locked in. When the Polarity team reached out last-minute asking me to run the fellowship, I had no logical reason to say yes.
But I did it anyway.
I knew I could channel everything I learned at Boardy, Speechify, and Chatbase to run one of the most hyped programs in the GTA.
Looking back, I'm insanely proud of what we built in just two months.
Here's what we accomplished:
» Generated 24M+ views across LinkedIn, X, and IG, helping fellows add thousands of followers in weeks.
» Pulled 1,000+ event signups and secured last-minute collabs with Google, Microsoft, Clover Labs, NationGraph, GitCloud, SOON, Creatin, and top YC startups.
» Caught inbound from C-suites at Lyft, Airbnb, Meta, and massive Series B/C companies across North America.
» Watched fellows land jobs and crazy opportunities directly through the program.
And we pulled all of this off on an insanely cheap budget.
But the best part? All 25 fellows walked away as best friends.
I gave this my all... working behind the scenes on events, sponsorships, contracts, logistics, everything. But seeing the immediate reward of that hustle made me wake up every single day ready to go harder.
I’m humbled by how many of you invested in Polarity's growth and became a part of it.
This program was proof that you don't need money for crazy distribution. You need a strong brand and a real community behind it.
A huge thank you to everybody who made this possible. Now it's time to lock in at Wealthsimple.
And who knows, maybe another fellowship is right around the corner 👀
