Definitely agree that on a team by team basis, there are opportunities to raise money out there that can be less dilutive -- very much might make more sense to do that than apply to work with us if you're in the right position for it t

I'm sorry you feel that way -- we did discuss this when deciding what to call it, but ultimately decided that what the community we aim to create is much closer to a fellowship and peer group of scientists than a VC fund. We're op

No, please still feel free to apply, we're still happy to consider and see if we can be helpful. Solo founders are fine with us.

If it was a research oriented idea, maybe, though really we think we can be most helpful to people starting life science companies. If it's more software product oriented, I would encourage you to apply to Y Combinator -- it's a g

We want teams to feel like peers and not like we're treating some teams more favorably than others -- from my experience having worked at Y Combinator, I think creating a sense where everyone is equal is one of the many things YC has d

Help teams find space through incubator spaces we know -- also this most likely only applies for teams that want to relocate to the Bay Area (otherwise we ask you to tell us how you will get lab space you may need).

If this goes well, very likely -- for now we're focused on this first group as an experiment though.

by mattkrisiloff 6y ago
We'll likely have events in the future for people that are thinking about this but aren't ready yet to get started -- the main thing we care about is creating a community of scientist founders to help one another.

We have a google form you can fill out here if you are looking for a co-founder: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeHVqqOMBoWa_O3RyuI...

In the long run, for sure -- but often a lot more than people think can be done to start building momentum with a small amount of money for these types of companies. For example, the company I'm currently CEO of started with $250,000 i

We think we can be most helpful for life science companies, but if you think we could be really helpful still please feel free to apply. No need for a PhD.

We're trying to be very upfront that this is a for-profit thing for the creation of for-profit companies. We're calling it a fellowship because we care more about creating a community of scientists starting companies than potentia

Yes! No obligation to be living in the US -- you can do from anywhere as long as you will have access to resources you may need to perform your work.

by mattkrisiloff 6y ago
We think we can be most helpful for people working on life science companies, so mostly focused on that.

Hey I'm one of the people starting this fellowship program -- Our hope is to inspire more scientists to start companies-- we really believe that a lot more scientists could become great founders, and companies are often the most effec

We're planning to fund 5-10 individuals or teams to start with.
