Foundry · Application
Seven teams. Prove it’s already happening.
Foundry is a student-run startup accelerator at Carnegie Mellon — a crucible for founders who are all in. We admit seven teams. We take no equity. Rolling review.
Interviews run on a rolling basis as applications land. Applying early is a real advantage, not a platitude.
We can’t reach the application service right now, so we can’t confirm the deadline. You can still write your answers — they save in this browser — but hold off on submitting until this notice clears.
The bar
Read this before you spend an hour on the form.
To admit you, we have to believe you are building a venture-scale, revenue-generating company right now — this month, these months. If that is you a year from now, apply a year from now and we will be glad to read it. We are idea-agnostic: software, hardware, medical, whatever it is. We are not stage-agnostic.
Not this, then
Two other doors into the building.
ScottyLabs committee application

Foundry mailing list
A lower bar, and a lot of good events for serious founders on campus. Our broader programming, without the cohort commitment.
