Frequently asked questions

How do I apply to an investor?

Each program lists application instructions on its profile. Most run cohorts with open application windows; click any listing for details and a direct link to its site or StartupCorners profile.

Are these programs free?

Most accelerators provide funding in exchange for equity (typically 5-10%); some are equity-free or fee-based. Check each profile's "funding options" section for specifics.

What stage of startup do they accept?

Stages vary by program. Many accept idea-stage to seed; some are explicitly Series A or later. The stage filter on each profile helps you narrow down.

Can I apply to multiple programs?

Yes — most founders apply to several. Programs typically run on different schedules so you can stagger applications.
