FAQ
Questions, answered
A few common questions about eligibility, location, and how funding works.
No. If your startup qualifies, you may still receive benefits from some of our partners even if you are not accepted into the 95th Percentile Accelerator. Acceptance into the cohort is just one of several ways founders can unlock resources.
No, you can participate remotely. We do recommend traveling out to work from our Menlo Park office from time to time, but being based in Silicon Valley is not a requirement to take part.
No. The up-to-$125K is non-dilutive product development funding — it's granted toward building your software, not paid out as cash to founders. You don't give up any equity for it, and it's applied to engineering and development costs rather than salaries or personal use.
If you're qualified, you may receive many of the perks from our partners and even some funding. It will be non-dilutive, and you'll have the opportunity to join our community. If you're accepted into an accelerator, you'll also have the chance to receive direct investment from Think Tank VC.
