Why do we charge an application fee?
We are dedicated to making this a sustainable platform for entrepreneurs and business owners.
To do so, and to cover the cost of reviewing each application, we charge a fee.
We are not a non-profit organization and we do not receive any federal or foundation subsidies for the program, therefore we have to build a sustainable model.
We strive to provide far more value than the cost of the application in the form of the review feedback we provide and two months free membership in our paid community. We believe most founders and business owners don't have a reliable and consistent source of thought partnership and candid feedback on their businesses and we are working to do that at scale.
Applicants must reside in the US to be eligible for the Freed Fellowship Grant.
We are not currently accepting applications from non-profits or franchisees. Franchisers are welcome to apply.
