Apply to Project Underdogs

Founders: about 15 minutes, and your progress is saved as you go. Investors and partners: raise a hand. We read every one.

This is the first step toward joining a class of first-time founders building real businesses. You don't need a polished pitch, fancy words, or a big network. Just tell us honestly where your business is today and where you want to take it. If you're accepted, our fund invests a real first check in your business, and terms are shared before you apply.

Step 1 of 5: About you

So we know what to call you.

We'll send updates about your application here.

Only if you'd like a call or text from us.

We're fully online. This helps us plan meeting times across time zones.

Are you 18 or older?

If you're under 18, you can still apply. A parent or guardian will need to be part of any agreement.

Is this your first business?

Our program is built for first-time founders.

So we know what language support we can offer you.

For example: translation, captions, a slower pace, limited internet, or a set schedule.
