You may be wondering…
We support growth-driven companies by bringing together capital, expert operational support, and the scale of our corporate partners, not to mention our wider network of international brands, investors and fellow founders.
Our Accelerator program with Fastweb is completely bespoke - the support you receive will depend on your startup's needs and growth objectives.
Find out more about startup accelerators and the difference between a startup accelerator versus an incubator.
We're looking for founders with a product in market and early traction, typically at pre-seed to seed-stage in funding. If you are at that stage and are ready to leverage our network and expert team, now's the right time.
We provide six months of support across strategy, ops, bizdev, product, design, tech, growth, PR, brand, fundraising and talent. We're not afraid to roll up our sleeves in the short term while you build your team, if it means you'll move forward, faster.
You'll also have access to our global network of corporate partners, brands, investors and fellow founders from day one.
While formal meetings will pause, you'll continue to leverage our global alumni network and knowledge. The Founders Factory network extends across 100+ corporates, investors across different stages, geographies and sectors, and a strong community of fellow founders.
