Frequently asked.

Any college student or recent grad with an idea or a working business. Solo founders and teams welcome. Cofounders don't need to be at the same school — our network spans campuses.

No. The Launch Track is for founders earlier in the journey — strong idea, no validated product yet. The Growth Track is for those with a live product and customers. We'll place you in the right lane after you apply.

14 weeks of intensive in-person work, plus ongoing post-program access to mentors, resources, and the PANDA alumni network.

Yes. We support funding pathways three ways: in-program seed support, direct angel introductions, and a vetted target list of 100+ angels and 50+ regional and global seed accelerators.

We meet you where you are. Some cohorts run on equity terms; some are university-sponsored and tuition-free. Apply and we'll be transparent about your specific cohort's terms.

Plan on full-time hours during the 14 weeks. The program ships 10–15 deliverables per week per founder, plus weekly mentor sessions, working groups, and office hours.

Onboarding to PANDA's post-program resources: continued mentorship, the alumni network, fundraising assistance, an Equity Collective, and a monthly cohort meeting cadence for at least the first year.

Yes. We work with universities four ways: install the full platform, optimize an existing program, white-label our curriculum under your brand, or run hosted cohorts. Reach out.

Rolling basis. We aim to respond within one business day. Strong applications get a short interview, then placement into a cohort. We do not require an NDA at application stage.

Cohort-dependent. For equity cohorts, we are explicit about percentage and vesting. For university-sponsored cohorts, there is typically no equity component. Apply and we'll tell you which applies.
