There are no equity requirements or fees, reflecting the program’s commitment to prioritizing entrepreneurs. Local sponsors and dedicated program leaders and mentors make this possible.
At the end of the program, startups may have the opportunity to receive investment from the FoundersBoost Fund, which invests exclusively in FoundersBoost founders who choose to participate.
However, investment is not guaranteed. The FoundersBoost Fund does not require preferential terms for program participation and typically invests between $25,000 and $75,000.
Program Details
Each cohort meets weekly for three hours over a 6-week period, typically from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. During these sessions, accepted pre-seed and seed-stage startups benefit from top-notch speakers and mentors.
The program concludes with a Demo Day and includes a Global Investor Showcase for additional exposure.
