The Founders Club sits before the accelerator: a three-month online programme for individuals leaving corporate roles or very early B2B teams, focused on finding co-founders, refining an idea, building an MVP and landing first customers. Unlike the accelerator programmes, participants pay to attend (EUR 1,000+VAT for individuals, EUR 1,500+VAT for teams, EUR 500+VAT for CTOs and developers) and investment is a possible outcome, not part of joining. Teams that qualify can receive a convertible investment up to EUR 100,000 with the same EUR 35,000 programme cost and EUR 250,000 follow-on structure as the accelerator, and up to EUR 200,000 if they register a legal entity in Bilbao. Sessions run once or twice weekly with a minimum of twelve hours of weekly homework on top.
