The RippleX Founder Fellowship is a program specifically for B2B software companies built by underrepresented student/grad/dropout founders in Canada and the United States. This program is designed to help founders at the earliest stages get unique access to customers, esteemed operators, and hands-on support from the Ripple team. If you need help with validating your problem space with customers, all the way to getting your first dollars of revenue and funding, you've come to the right place. Companies accepted in the batch will have the opportunity to receive funding from Ripple via the Fellow Fund.
How are you different from other programs?
Instead of being 1/100 companies in a batch, you will be 1/10.
Deep experience working with first-time student/recent grad founders to become venture-fundable.
All companies will be building in B2B software and will get direct help and access to customers that is relevant to their sectors.
Daily mentorship from the Ripple Ventures team to help you get on a venture-scale path.
Workshops led by esteemed alumni, venture partners, and founders who have gotten to scale and exit.
In-person workshops and events in Toronto and Vancouver to build a deep community across the batch.
Ran by an established venture capital fund with incentive to help you get on track to be funded and on a venture-path.
