LANDED FAQ
-
In our batches, typically only 1 out of 10 companies we talk to will be selected for our program. We want to focus on helping the founders and the team, not just hitting numbers on a report.
-
While many accelerators are government-funded and are free for startups, LANDED deliberately operates as a privately funded program.
Why? Because by staying privately funded, we can skip the startup theater, institutional KPIs, and focus on what matters.
We collect a $6,500 Program Fee for each phase of the program.
To align incentives for the third phase (fundraising), our companies typically allocate 1-2% of equity to LANDED as we work together on fundraising.
-
Here’s how the $6500 fee will be used:
$900: for 3 months of work space in NYC complete with kitchen, conference rooms, and printing services.
$5,000: LANDED customized 1-on-1 workshops and strategic services highlighted above.
$600: Business operations like sourcing talents for our startups, having this website, our internal software, arranging meetups, and acquiring new advisors.
Priceless: zero wasted time, zero PR events, zero reports, zero group pictures with foam boards, 100% focused on revenue and fundraising.

No, we do not collect FA commissions and we caution founders that it is likely against US regulations for FAs to collect transaction-based commissions without being a registered broker dealer.
