Founders Program · Phase 1 — Initial Screening

Start your qualification

Selective program. ~14% of applicants are accepted. The $99 evaluation fee covers your AI-generated readiness assessment and a confidential soft credit review — no impact to your credit score, never publicized, fully refundable… just kidding. It is non-refundable. We’re serious about who we let in.

Two-phase qualification. Phase 1 is a fast initial screening plus a soft credit review — if you clear it, you advance to the Phase 2 detailed analysis. After you submit Phase 2, CloudFran decides within 72 hours.

Authorizations

I authorize the $99 non-refundable evaluation fee charged at submission, and acknowledge it does not apply toward the program fee. I authorize CloudFran to perform a soft credit pull as part of Phase 1 initial screening (a soft inquiry — no impact to credit score), and understand the result is confidential and used only for admissions evaluation.

Your information is encrypted in transit and stored securely. CloudFran does not sell or share applicant data. The soft credit review is a soft inquiry only — no impact to your credit score. After Phase 2, CloudFran responds within 72 hours. Back to program overview
