Founder Friday — one weekend a year

One weekend a year, Valu.vc opens a short application window with accelerated review and a bundle of founder perks for accepted teams. This page is evergreen — updated when the window is open, honest when it is not.

Current status

Off-season: the Founder Friday window is not open right now. The standard application is always free and always open — no need to wait.

What Founder Friday has included before

• Accelerated application review (days, not weeks).
• Priority access to perks marketplace credits.
• Fast-track mentor matching.

Be notified first

Apply via the application form and mention “Founder Friday” — or contact us — and we will notify you the moment the window opens.

FAQ

Is Founder Friday different from the normal application?

Same bar, faster clock. If you are ready, apply any time — the window mainly accelerates review.
