OpenAI on Friday introduced a new program , dubbed the "OpenAI Grove," for early tech entrepreneurs looking to build with artificial intelligence, and applications are already open.

Unlike OpenAI's Pioneer Program, which launched in April , Grove is aimed towards individuals at the very nascent phases of their company development, from the pre-idea to pre-seed stage.

For five weeks, participants will receive mentoring from OpenAI technical leaders, early access to new tools and models, and in-person workshops, located in the company's San Francisco headquarters.

Roughly 15 members will join Grove's first cohort, which will run from Oct. 20 to Nov. 21, 2025. Applicants will have until Sept. 24 to submit an entry form.

CNBC has reached out to OpenAI for comment on the program.
