What founders should check

  1. The programme says it takes no equity. Still read the agreement for warrants, revenue shares or rights in a later round.
  2. It does not publish a fee. Ask whether you pay for desks, services or the programme itself.
  3. It mixes remote and in-person sessions in Philadelphia. Ask how much time on site it expects.
  4. Applications are accepted at any time, so there is no deadline to plan around.
