Dear founders,
𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐚𝐥𝐥 2026 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐢𝐭 @𝐊𝐁𝐂 𝐜𝐨𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐧! 🚀
Every year, thousands of startups apply - not because we promise shortcuts, but because building a company is hard, and it helps to not do it alone.
If you’re considering applying, take a moment to reflect:
❓Are you truly obsessed with the problem and the people you’re building for?
❓Are you creating something genuinely different - not just louder?
❓Do you have (or are you ready to build) the right team around you?
❓And is this a moment where you can really go all in? 🔥
If that resonates, we’d love to meet you 😊
Applications close on September 14th at midnight.
