How to apply

  1. 1

    Pick the programme that matches your sector and region

    The accelerator page lists the live partner programmes and marks each one Open or Closed. Examples shown at the time of audit: Aviva and Founders Factory Fintech Investment Program (London and remote, Open), Rio Tinto and Founders Factory Mining Tech Investment Program (Perth and remote, Open), Mediobanca and Founders Factory Fintech Investment Program (Milan and remote, Open), HSBC Industrial Innovator Programme (Singapore and South East Asia, Open), Northwestern Medicine Healthcare Accelerator (London and Chicago, Closed).

  2. 2

    Submit the application form

    The general application is a Typeform linked from the accelerator page at form.typeform.com/to/XdvluIs5. Individual partner programmes carry their own separate application links, so apply through the one for the programme you chose.

  3. 3

    If selected, join the four-month cohort

    The page describes investing capital together with a four-month cohort-based programme of expert operational support covering finding product-market fit, getting funded, building a team, driving customers and revenue, and unlocking partnerships, plus the investor showcase events and warm introductions.

Frequently asked

Capital plus a four-month cohort-based programme of expert operational support, warm introductions to their global investor networks, and the opportunity to pitch at their investor showcase events. The page cites 500 or more startups accelerated and USD 1.7bn or more raised.

Four months, run as a cohort alongside the other companies selected.

Through a form. The accelerator page links a general Typeform application, and each corporate-partner programme (fintech, health, mining tech, maritime, media tech and others) links its own application form.

None is published. The accelerator page marks each partner programme Open or Closed without dates, so the only reliable check is the status shown next to the programme you want on foundersfactory.com/accelerator.
