Platform 7 Startup Cohort Application

An 8-week boot camp for early-stage founders ready to take their idea to the next level.

This program runs from September 22nd to November 14th and is designed to help student and early-stage entrepreneurs refine their business model, gain traction, and pitch with confidence.

You’ll participate in weekly sessions, receive mentorship from experienced founders and investors, and join a community of like-minded builders. At the end of the program, you’ll have the opportunity to pitch in front of real VCs and advisors.

This is not a competition. It’s a community where we all grow together.

Applications are due by Monday, September 15th.
