Veterans and active service members possess the work ethic, high character, and strong leadership skills needed to launch meaningful and enduring technology companies.

To inspire and enable the military community to build technology companies, the Founder Institute, the world's premier idea-stage accelerator and startup launch program, has partnered with Vet-Tech, the nation's leading startup accelerator for military veterans, to offer the "Startup Our Veterans" Fellowship for the Washington DC Spring 2025 semester.

As part of this program, any U.S. veteran or service member who wants to start a technology company can apply to the Washington DC Spring 2025 semester for free, and the best overall applicant will receive a Fellowship to participate in the Washington DC Founder Institute's step-by-step startup launch program for free as well.

To apply for the Startup our Veterans Fellowship for the Washington DC Spring 2025 Semester, you must complete your application and enroll in the program by Saturday, April 30th. Recipients of the fellowship will be notified within 5 days after this deadline.

Even though our veterans possess the work ethic, high character, and strong leadership skills needed to launch meaningful and enduring technology companies, many veterans don't know the first steps to launching a business, or find themselves unemployed. We created the ‘Startup Our Vets Fellowship' to encourage more veterans to leverage their amazing skillset towards building their own businesses" - Adeo Ressi, Founder & CEO of the Founder Institute
