Startup Leadership Program Nyc

The Startup Leadership Program (SLP) NYC is a no-equity fellowship focused on developing early-stage entrepreneurs. Over 450 founders completed SLP NYC and have collectively raised over $1B. We focus on the individual founder, rather than the company. Our approach is to offer community, curriculum, and mentorship to help new startup founders navigate their first steps of building a startup. During our six-month curriculum, entrepreneurs learn the fundamentals of starting and growing a company from 0 to 1. We focus on preparing founders for their next stage, whether an Accelerator, Pre-Seed Funding, or Seed-Strapping. The SLP curriculum is holistic, balancing technical aspects and core leadership principles required for innovation. The classes cover building a product, finding customers, growing a team, pitching investors, and many other technical and non-technical aspects of startup leadership.
