About this program
Boost VC introduces the Boost VC Fellowship as an equity based fellowship where it will invest $50K for 3% into a founder or founders looking to start a new Deep Tech company. The program states it is open to any Deep Tech idea and lists examples of areas it is currently most excited about. Applicants are asked to apply via a form and, if it is a potential fit, Boost VC states it will schedule one call and give a quick decision.
