Founder Pathway
Admissions
This pathway is being prepared during JRX’s 2026–2027 beta year; no cohort has started yet. Applying does not guarantee a place, and the pathway does not guarantee revenue or a successful business.
Applying
How to apply.
Step 1
Make your login
You create your own sign-in. Making a login does not put you on the pathway.
Step 2
Write your application
About you, why you, what you have already done, and the hours you can give. It saves as you go.
Step 3
Show & Prove
Do one real thing with one real person, then show what happened — including what did not work.
Step 4
Send it
Once you send it, your status page stays live until a decision is recorded.
The interview
You book your own time.
Step 1
We open times
JRX posts the interview times that are available, with where or the joining link.
Step 2
You pick one
You book the time that suits you from your own status page, and you can move it until it is held.
Step 3
We talk
Question by question: what you are building, what you have tried, what you would need. Your answers are written down.
Step 4
A person decides
A place, a place with conditions, the waiting list, a preparation path, or a decline with a reason.
Inside the portal
What a founder gets.
Your first 90 days
Read the Field, Test the Field, Make the Move — with your own Day 0, 30, 60 and 90 dates.
This week
Your shared priority, this week's move, and your check-in with your Founder Team.
Show & Prove
The real evidence you record: customers spoken to, experiments run, numbers seen.
Proof portfolio
Your two scoreboards — how you are developing, and how the venture is doing — kept apart.
Decision cases and business fluency
Real cases to reason through. Learning applied, never counted as venture proof.
Your Founder Team
A Success Specialist, a Business Mentor and an Academic Specialist, working from one shared plan.
The portal opens only once a person records an acceptance. Nothing in it is public, and time alone never moves a founder forward — recorded evidence does.
Ready when you are.
What it costs, and what you would be responsible for
Program value: $18,000 for the 18-month core pathway — about $1,000 a month.
What a participant is responsible for may be reduced through approved scholarships, sponsorships or JRX subsidy, so this is not a bill handed to every family.
Your funding plan and exact responsibility are confirmed with you in writing before any payment commitment.
No Founder Pathway payment is taken on this website today.
