🌱 Boost Founder Fellowship: Learnings and results
June marked the end of the inaugural cohort of the Boost Founder Fellowship at Company Ventures. Our 4-month pre-accelerator program worked with founders from historically underserved backgrounds raising pre-seed or seed rounds of funding.
Since the start of the program, Boost founders have built real momentum such as:
Closing their seed round
Launching their products and booking revenue
Providing expert witness at the White House
Onboarding new co-founders
Securing multiple government contracts
…And more. Boost, part of the citywide Founder Fellowship program, is coordinated by NYCEDC, which supported 100 tech founder teams. Read more about the highlights from the Boost program on our website.
