Solo founders, partners, and small teams welcome.
We look for applicants with a real concept, some foundational work done, and the drive to see it through.
Selection
Applying does not guarantee support.
We review every submission carefully. Our team evaluates concept viability, foundational work completed, readiness to execute, and fit with the resources we have to offer.
Not every applicant is accepted, and not every accepted applicant receives every service we provide. What we promise is a careful review and an honest follow-up, either way.

Common questions
What people ask
a.
Is there any cost?
For applicants we accept into the program, no. The Gaygency Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and the services we provide come at no charge to the people we support. Our work is funded by donors and corporate partners.
b.
What business stage do I need to be at?
Any stage. Idea, pre-launch, or already running. We work with people at the beginning and people who have been at it for years.
c.
What's the time commitment?
It depends on what you apply for. A one-off brand sprint is a few hours; a full program is several months. We work around your schedule.
d.
When does the full program launch?
2027. We're taking interest forms now so we can match people to resources in the meantime and have a pipeline ready at launch.
e.
Can I apply if I'm not in the U.S.?
Our current program is U.S.-focused for legal and tax reasons. Reach out anyway — we may be able to help informally.
