Develop and refine your startup vision and venture thesis.
Validate customer problems and market opportunities.
Build and iterate your product or MVP.
Engage with customers and test your go-to-market strategy.
Work closely with the 16VC team through regular founder reviews and strategic sessions.
Build momentum toward fundraising and company launch.
As part of the residency, you'll receive access to:
Dedicated founder and investor mentorship.
Strategic venture-building support.
Product and engineering guidance where applicable.
Customer discovery and GTM frameworks.
A global network of founders, operators, and investors.
Introductions to relevant partners and ecosystem resources.
Opportunities to present your progress for potential investment consideration.
Outstanding founders may be invited to join the 16VC Accelerator and be considered for pre-seed investment, along with continued venture studio support.
Investment decisions are made based on progress, execution, market validation, and overall venture potential.
We're looking for founders who are:
Building in AI, SaaS, FinTech, DeepTech, or frontier technologies.
First-time or experienced entrepreneurs.
Strong operators with deep domain expertise.
Highly resourceful, execution-focused, and founder-minded.
Passionate about building venture-scale companies.
You do not need a co-founder to apply.
The Founder in Residence program is designed to be flexible for active builders. Founders are expected to dedicate consistent time to building their company and participate in regular strategy reviews and founder sessions with the 16VC team.
