GROWTH FACTORY
Accelerating Venture-Backable Startups
Our goal is to help founders of pre-seed to seed stage venture backable companies rapidly achieve product market fit, positioning them to raise funds and achieve revenue of $1M in ARR within 18 months.
Founders apply to be accepted into a small cohort of startups that receive 12 months of structured support. Each startup begins by creating their own customized action plan.
Workshops, founder forums, and office hours accelerate learning, connect founders with experts and resources, and provide community. Founders may also participate in curated local pilot projects to support in testing their hypothesis, developing case studies and building relationships with potential customers.
The Growth Factory is a proud member of Morrow, a global community of venture builders.
Through this network, we are able to provide access to resources such as $1M in perks, founder wellness support, industry specific mentors, and global hot desk spaces for teams to drop in and work while travelling.
Applications are now open for our 2023 Cohort.
