Verification note
Official Founder Fellowship page rechecked 2026-07-04. It says Fall 2026 applications open in summer 2026 and the cohort kicks off in late September, but it does not state an exact application-open date or deadline. Official terms remain $400K upfront for 7%, plus $600K guaranteed in the next external funding round, and up to $1M in partner credits. Do not calendarize until SPC publishes an exact date.
