Zelda Poem is the founder of Nautilus, a three-month residency in San Francisco supporting young artists, scientists, and entrepreneurs.
A published author at 18 and a high-school dropout, Zelda has spent the past decade building alternative education programs and fellowships in the U.S. and Europe.
She is a community builder and talent curator, with a focus on cultivating unconventional talent and reimagining creative patronage for the 21st century.
Top Goal
To run two exceptional cohorts, expand our patron network, experiment new models to sustain these cohorts, and lay the foundation for Nautilus to become a cultural institution that champions emerging talent.
