FOUNDERS, INC

DATA_OVERVIEW

Founders, Inc (f.inc) is an innovative startup community and funding program based in San Francisco that provides early-stage founders with first checks, a vibrant physical campus, and access to a growing community of peers and mentors. The program isn–t a time-boxed accelerator in the classic sense, but instead offers ongoing opportunities to build alongside others, engage in short sprint cohorts if desired, and receive resources and support that help founders take their ideas from early stage through growth. Founders can apply online to be invited to the campus, receive funding, and embed themselves in a culture of builders and creators.
