AI Opportunity Radar

You found out about the opportunity three days after the deadline. AI Opportunity Radar fixes that.

One place to discover active AI grants, fellowships, accelerators, competitions, scholarships, courses, and learning opportunities — reviewed and updated before deadlines expire.

⭐ If this saves you time, star the repo — it helps more builders, students, founders, and researchers find it.

AI Opportunity Radar helps researchers, students, founders, and builders discover AI opportunities before deadlines expire.

Instead of monitoring dozens of university websites, accelerator programs, research labs, foundations, and community announcements, you can browse a single curated directory of grants, fellowships, startup programs, competitions, scholarships, and learning opportunities.

Every listing links to an official source and is organized to make opportunity discovery faster, simpler, and more reliable.

• Weekly digest — a curated shortlist of new and important opportunities
• RSS feed — subscribe once and keep up with updates automatically
