VentureWell AI policy
Varies by programChecked November 9, 2026
In short
For VentureWell's E-Team Program, applicants may use AI tools to help prepare their application as long as the ideas, evidence, and plan are the team's own, and they must say how they used AI. Submitting an application that AI largely wrote is not allowed, even if edited afterward. Reviewers may not enter applications into AI tools or use AI to score, rank, or summarize them.

For reviewers

“You may use AI tools to help prepare your E-Team Program application, as long as the ideas, evidence, and plan are your team's own and you tell us how you used AI.”
“Submitting an application that AI largely wrote is not allowed, even if you edit it afterward. This is not in the spirit of our grantmaking thesis.”
“Reviewers are not allowed to enter your application into AI tools or use AI to score, rank, or summarize it. We do not use AI detection software to judge applications.”
