Home / Journeys
Different journeys. Same breakthrough.
Breakthrough Founders provides multiple structured journeys that match the stage you’re at.
Whether you’re validating an idea, securing your first funding or preparing for VC investment, each journey connects you to the right tools, communities and expert partners so you can focus on building and scaling.
How we support every founder
Every applicant moves through our structured Fit Check. It’s the quickest way for us to understand where you are, what you need, and where you’re heading.
Step 1 — Fit Check
Tell us about your business in a few short questions. We’ll assess which of our programmes is the best match and let you know whether there is space available.
Step 2 — Deep Dive
You’ll have the chance to share more detail about your company, stage, and plans.
Step 3 — Your Founder Report
You’ll receive a tailored report based on the information you’ve shared. It highlights strengths, gaps to close, practical next steps, and which milestones matter most at your stage.
Step 4 — Invitation to Join Programme
Once we’ve reviewed your application, confirmed you’re a good fit, and you have a clear understanding of what is involved and what’s expected from you, you will be invited to join the programme.
