02Eligibility
Who qualifies, plainly stated.
You qualify when
You are an early-stage startup — typically pre-seed through Series A — building a scalable product, incorporated, with a working team and a live or near-live build. Any sector, any country. Most members join before they have meaningful revenue.
You do not qualify when
You are an agency, a consultancy, or a reseller; you have already raised beyond Series A; or the application is for a project without a company behind it. We will tell you within three business days rather than leave you waiting.
03Process
From application to advantage in under a week.
Apply once and unlock the entire ecosystem. No point solutions to chase, no dozens of forms to fill.
-
01
Apply
A short form about your company, stage, and what you are building. Ten minutes, no deck required, no introduction needed.
-
02
Get reviewed
A real person on our founder team reads every application. Most teams hear back within three business days, including when the answer is no.
-
03
Claim your stack
Credits and perks activate instantly on approval. Redeem them from a single dashboard — no sales calls, no waiting on partner approvals.
-
04
Onboard
Meet your program manager, set your first milestones, and get matched into the community and mentor tracks that fit your stage.
-
05
Grow with support
Mentors, events, playbooks, and capital introductions arrive as you hit each milestone. The pass grows with you rather than expiring.
04Member support
What happens after you are approved.
The pass is the beginning. A small, senior team works on the four problems that decide whether an early company survives its first five years.
-
01
Talent
Engineering and executive recruiting support run in-house. More than 400 introductions made to member companies last year, with no placement fees.
-
02
Go-to-market
Design partners, your first ten customers, and pricing sessions with mentors who have sold into your exact buyer before.
-
03
Capital strategy
Round construction, investor targeting, and warm introductions — from the pre-seed nobody will price to the Series A nobody saw coming. We take no fee and no equity.
-
04
Founder support
Confidential peer groups, a dedicated program manager for Scale members, and a standing line to someone who has seen your problem twenty times.
05Stackpass Foundry
The accelerator, for teams who want more.
Every pass includes the ecosystem. Foundry is the intensive on top of it: twice a year we host eight pre-seed teams in San Francisco for ten weeks, with a $250,000 grant and no equity taken. Membership is the door; Foundry is the deep end.

Decide together
