Description
FoundersBoost provides the competitive edge for early-traction stage tech startups in the last mile towards Accelerators, Investment, and Revenue. Through a mix of hands-on workshops and personalized one-on-one office hours, you’ll sharpen your entrepreneurial mindset, enhance customer traction, and gain actionable strategies to help you navigate the critical pre-seed to seed stage transition.
The program takes no equity and charges no fees and the dedication of our gifted program leaders and mentors.
Details:
Each cohort takes place once weekly (virtually) over a 6 week period one evening a week, starting the week of Oct 6th (Kickoff Event on Oct 2nd), where the best speakers and mentors meet to work with promising pre-seed/seed stage startups. The program naturally integrates into a founders schedule on a part time weekly basis to create an iterative cycle of accountability and growth that maximizes and compounds the learnings and insights gained each week. The program culminates in a Demo Day. Additionally, there is a Global Investor Day for all the city programs that provides even further exposure for accepted startups.
We look forward to reviewing your application!
