Apply to 2024 Summer FFL Class
The deadline to apply is Wednesday, May 15. After you apply, you will receive an automated email confirming that your application was received. Applications are reviewed after the application deadline and startups will hear back by June 5. The program starts in July 2024.

Founder Friendly Labs (FFL) is the equity-free startup accelerator for experienced professionals. Our founders include veterans from Google, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, Twitter, LinkedIn, eBay, Netflix, HP, Cisco, Oracle, IBM, and Sequoia Capital. They are experts in AI, Machine Learning, Marketing, Productivity, Marketplaces, Deep Learning, IoT, NLP, VR, Financial Planning, Insurance, and more.

As a member of FFL, startups can receive startup and cloud credits from partners including Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, Stripe, and Carta. We understand founders are busy, so we offer a low-commitment experience.

After the application deadline, some startups will be invited to interview via Zoom. For startups invited to interview, the CEO and all team members who would participate in FFL (meaning they would attend the class session, join the online community, etc.) must be at this interview as there is no second interview. In addition to the CEO, startups have the option to select up to 2 other key team members to participate. Startups will be notified of their acceptance soon after all the interviews are completed, and the exact date for the program session is selected a few weeks later.

FFL does not take any equity. The program fee per startup will be due upon admission to the class. This fee is usually tax-deductible (check with your tax advisor to confirm). There is no fee to apply to the program.
