01 — The deal
One deal. The same for everyone.
Capital
A standard investment, wired at the start of the batch.
Twelve weeks
Weekly office hours with partners, group sessions and founder dinners.
Demo Day
You present to a room of investors we've invited for you.
For life
Once you're in, you stay in: the founder network, perks and partner support.
02 — How it works
From application to Demo Day.
01
Apply
A written application and a one-minute video of the founders. Most teams finish in about an hour.
02
Interview
If we'd like to learn more, we'll invite you to a short call with partners. We decide the same week.
03
The batch
We invest, and you spend twelve weeks building alongside the other companies in your batch.
04
Demo Day
You pitch to investors, raise your next round and keep Galaxy Fund in your corner afterwards.
03 — During the batch
What you actually get.
Office hours
Every week you sit down with a partner, set goals and work through whatever is blocking you.
Dinners
Off-the-record talks from founders who've already been where you are, including the parts they got wrong.
Your batch
A group of founders at the same stage as you. Often your first customers are sitting in the same room.
Fundraising
Pitch practice, introductions to investors and a Demo Day built around getting you funded.
Perks
Credits and discounts for the cloud services and software startups actually use.
Library
Short practical guides on product-market fit, pricing, hiring and raising money.
Mostly the idea and pre-seed stage. Plenty of teams apply before they've launched or raised any money. Later-stage teams can apply too.
No. Solo founders can apply and get accepted, although most strong teams we see have two or three founders whose skills complement each other.
It helps if someone on the team can build the product, but it isn't required. Tell us how you plan to get it built.
It's a mix of in-person events and remote sessions. We share the details for each batch with the teams we accept.
