About Us
FoundersBoost (formerly Startup Boost) runs volunteer led pre-accelerator programs designed to provide equitable access to founders by taking no fees or equity. Programs run globally in 20 regions across the US, Canada, Europe, & Africa. Throughout all the programs, 80% of our startups are led by under-represented founders.
Our program is mentor-driven and designed for pre-seed stage startups, which typically have less structured support mechanisms (accelerators, VCs, mentor programs, etc) at their disposal. FoundersBoost is designed to help pre-seed/seed stage startup companies achieve Acceleration, Investment, and/or Revenue (AIR). Each program is led by a volunteer local team which runs our curriculum and brings in top-tier mentors to give back to startups in their ecosystem. Over the past 5 years FoundersBoost has pre-accelerated 470+ startups, who have gone on to top tier accelerators and raised $155+ million dollars in investment.
Our programs run in the following programs: Austin, Multiple Autism (vertical), Chicago, Denver, Detroit, Ireland, Italy, Kenya, LA, London, Netherlands, Newcastle, New York, Pittsburgh, South Florida, Toronto, Turkey, UK, Vancouver, Washington DC, and Zambia. Additionally, we run FoundersBoostX, a free online community platform to support even more founders across the globe with resources, peer advice, speakers, and more.
FoundersBoost Foundation is under fiscal sponsorship with Hacker Fund, a 501(c)(3) public charity.
