Welcome! This Fellowship overview will answer all your questions about the Fellowship and the TF13 Cohort

🎯 Transcend Fellowship Goals

Our 6-week curriculum is highly focused on supporting founders identify the exact stage they are on their journey to product market fit. This diagnosis allows them to hyperfocus their customer experimentation at that stage during the first few week of the fellowship.

In the second half of the fellowship we walk you through how your track record and customer experiments can greatly empower your fundraising strategy as you build your startup as a movement.

Throughout this program you are actively supported by:

• Your accountability group of peer founders working with similar personas
• Your assigned PMF experiment coach
• Curated exited-founder mentor matches
• Transcend Network’s co-founders for fundraising support
