Welcome! This Fellowship overview will answer all your questions about the Fellowship and the TF15 Cohort

🎯 Transcend Fellowship Goals

Our 6-week program is highly focused on supporting founders identify the exact stage they are on their journey to Product-Market Fit (PMF). This diagnosis allows them to hyperfocus their customer experimentation at that stage during the first few weeks of the fellowship.

In the second half of the Fellowship we walk you through how your PMF can empower your fundraising strategy, as you define your funding model and build your startup’s movement.

🏔️Who will support you through TF15?

• Your PMF Peer group. The founder journey can be a lonely one. We curate this group to be your accountability group of 3 other founders serving similar ideal customer personas. You experiment weekly alongside each other throughout the fellowship.
• Your assigned 🧞 PMF Coach will meet with you and your sector peers weekly to give you timely feedback and accountability on your PMF experiments
• Curated 🫂 **Mentor Jam matches** are designed for you to receive timely feedback from exited founders and angel investors who have been in your shoes not too long ago
• Curated 1-on-1 sessions with your educator-product advisor to shed light on blindspots in your approach to your customer and learner through our product feedback process
• 😃 Transcend Network’s co-founders and GPs (Michael & Alberto) as your fundraising advisors “in your DMs”
• 🎓**350 Transcend Fellowship Alumni** to support your journey in our private fellow/alum slack
