NYC Startup Leadership Program

The Startup Leadership Program (SLP) is a non-profit, no-equity fellowship/accelerator for first-time and early-stage entrepreneurs. It operates as a six-month program focused on community, mentorship, and curriculum covering key aspects of starting and growing a company, such as product development, fundraising, and marketing. The program is volunteer-led by past alumni (founders for founders) and has chapters in multiple cities worldwide. While the program itself takes no equity, its alumni have collectively raised over $1 billion. The global organization was founded in 2006, with the New York chapter starting in 2010.
