The Founder Residency is a year-long program focused on supporting early-stage tech founders who identify as women, people of color, LGBTQ+, and other historically marginalized people.

Contributions to this fund go directly towards supporting the underrepresented founders themselves by providing the founders with a grant to support their growth and full-time participation in the program.

Besides a non-dilutive grant, participants in the program receive free office space at the Roux Institute, access to curated educational programming, mentorship, joint research opportunities, and a peer community that will allow them to develop their ideas at an accelerated pace.
