People who did this and are still standing.

Every founder in the cohort gets one. A Babson founder a few years ahead of you who is still building, so when you hit something you have never seen, you can ask someone who has.

You get matched in the first few weeks, once you know what you are working on, so the first call is about your problem and not small talk. After that it is a call every week and their number in your phone for the moments in between. Most of these relationships keep going after the program ends.

Started something after Babson? Help one person start theirs.

If you built something after Babson and remember how the first months felt, we want to hear from you. You would take one founder through the fall: a call a week, a text when they are stuck, and the straight answers you wish you had gotten. Tell us what you built and we will find the right person for you.
