# Starting a startup but don't know where to start? ## HZN is a Founder Fellowship designed for early-stage web3 Founders - real, grounded support from NEAR Horizon, all equity-free. ## We’re kicking off HZN1 on Sep. 18th and running a 12-week fellowship that includes: ## Cohort-Based Learning: Collaborate and grow with other founders on the same journey. We’re breaking down key concepts from token design to financial modeling to go-to-market strategy. ## Fundraising Track: Prepare to pitch with specialized guidance on all aspects of fundraising, building your narrative, and structuring your cap table to get you investment-ready. ## DISCOVERY Track: Accelerate your product's success with hands-on support to understand your customers better and shape your product. ## Networking Opportunities: Connect and engage both online and offline with those who can take your vision to new heights, including a dedicated founder retreat at NEARcon in Lisbon, Portugal. We're building a community of creators, pioneers, and builders who believe in making the world more open, one project at a time. We’d love to have you join us - our application deadline is September 1st. ## [Apply Here](https://airtable.com/appFoIqAoY0ikoVIb/shrst8Tt4PUtYTSvD) ## [Program Overview](https://hzn.super.site/)
