Apply Now for Founded in Philly 2021 📝

Published: Thu, 10/29/20

Happy October or what we like to call PSL month! Whether you prefer the festive pumpkin beverage or not, there's something "PSL" for everyone this season... 🎃☕️

To start, there are just a few weeks left to apply for Founded in Philly Series I, taking place February - May 2021. Over the course of this 12-week program, we guide 20 passionate entrepreneurs through a series of weekly workshops led by experienced founders. Participants will be immersed in Philadelphia's robust startup community, opening the door to a network of mentors, peers, financial opportunities, and more.

If you or someone you know has an idea they want to turn into a business, we want to hear about it. Learn more and apply here.

P.S. Selected participants automatically qualify to receive mini-grants ranging from $1,000 - $10,000 upon graduating the program! 😆

For insight into how our current Founded in Philly cohort is doing... check out last week's mid-program Pitch Night!
