2150 Cohort Application Form

In partnership with Harmony Venture Labs, our 2150 cohorts empower entrepreneurs by bringing their ideas to life. Learn more at https://www.2150innovate.org/2150foundations
Thank you for your interest in our 2150 cohorts. We offer 2 programs, Foundations for idea-stage founders, and Advanced for early-stage founders finding first customers.

We recommend Foundations for all founders participating in 2150 programming for the first time. You will NOT need to answer any questions specific to our Advanced cohort.

For those interested in our Advanced Cohort, note that there will be more questions we ask of you concerning traction, team structure, and financials.

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to reach out to Jahman Hill at jhill@2150innovate.org
