About founder programs from investors
Founder programs back people before companies. Venture firms run them to meet great founders at the very start, sometimes before there is an idea.
Who it is for: technical and operator talent thinking about starting something, recent founders, and people between companies.
What you get: a peer community, time and space to explore ideas, access to the firm's partners, and often an early check or a standing offer to invest.
How people get in: an application or a referral. Firms look for evidence of building, not a finished pitch.
Questions people ask
How is a founder program different from an accelerator?
Accelerators invest in an existing company on fixed terms. Founder programs start with the person, often before a company exists, and the investment terms, if any, come later.
Do I need an idea to apply?
Often not. Many founder programs are designed for people who have not settled on an idea yet.
