Welcome! This Fellowship overview will answer all your questions about the Fellowship and the TF16 Cohort

🎯 Transcend Fellowship Goals

Our 5-week program will help you identify your specific stage in the PMF journey, and will help you run daily experiments to make progress in addressing that challenge. In the last weeks of the Fellowship, we will additionally provide fundraising workshops for founders interested in exploring this and PMF experimentation tactic workshops for founders.

🏔️Who will support you through TF16?

• 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 in a 30 min session.
• 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”

🧪 Weekly customer experiments

To support fellows in building their customer experiments and diligently track their results in their Transcend Fellow Experiment Tracker, founders are placed in accountability groups where each fellow is working on relatively similar niche customer personas, here are a few examples of PMF peer groups groups we’ve created:
