Accelerating tech nonprofits
About Fast Forward
Working at the intersection of social impact and tech, Fast Forward runs several programs including a summer accelerator designed exclusively for tech nonprofits. Organizations selected receive mentorship, training, and capital.
Fast Forward fosters a supportive network of tech and social sector leaders to grow the tech for good ecosystem. We want to see more organizations leverage open source software, always connected devices, inexpensive variable cost web infrastructure, and APIs to build tech solutions to critical issues in education, environment, health, and human rights. While tech nonprofits look just like your typical startup, they measure success based on impact rather than profits. Once they achieve product/market fit, they scale incredibly well, quickly reaching wide, and often hard-to-access, communities.
Through Fast Forward, the tech community achieves tremendous social impact by mobilizing their skills and resources to help these organizations succeed.
About This Program
The Fast Forward accelerator provides training, mentorship, and funding to tech nonprofits.
All organizations must be nonprofits leveraging technology to address problems in arts/culture, education, environment, food/agriculture, health/healthcare, human rights, poverty alleviation/economic development, or public service/civic engagement. Each organization receives a $25,000 grant, access to 100+ mentor from the tech and social sectors, and much more.

Capital and intellectual value that measurably moves companies forward.
About Seed San Diego
We are a small group of investors who are determined to change the landscape for investing in San Diego. We will talk with you like we talk with our friends. We will ask you hard questions. We will laugh over drinks. If you can handle our candor, we'd like to meet you.
We invest in early stage companies with disruptive technology that need both capital and additional business insight to achieve their next milestone. We seek out startups with passionate founders and a bold vision who also understand their true strengths. Ultimately we invest when the combination of SSD’s capital and intellectual value can combine to measurably move the company forward. SSD’s funding strategy is to lead Series Seed or Bridge to Series A.
About This Program
We are looking for great San Diego based companies!
-Application Process-
Submit Application- This is the first step and typically the most frustrating for Founders because it can feel like a black box. Don't worry, we don't use robots. One or more of our leadership team considers each application in detail to determine whether there is a fit. If there isn’t, we will let you know quickly.
Screening Meeting- OK! So you made it past the application and are on a roll. This is where we get to know you and your company. We are honest and, at times, very direct, with a well honed BS meter. Most of the time it's very clear what next steps look like at the end of this meeting.
Whiteboard Session- This is where we discuss how to empower your greatness. This includes but is not limited to capital investment, other resources and suggested additions to the team. You should come with a high-level plan and be prepared for an active conversation. During this meeting we typically bring in industry experts that align with the problem you're solving. The end result is a comprehensive plan on how to move forward.
SSD Partners Meeting- Subject to the outcome of the Whiteboard Session, the SSD team gets together to discuss capital requirements and other internal/ external resources needed to make the plan happen. This will form the basis for our offer and includes all SSD obligations.

Flashpoint creates better startups, faster using the startup engineering process.
About Flashpoint at Georgia Tech
Flashpoint works closely with founders in a startup studio where they utilize methods of behavioral economics and startup engineering to develop exceptional opportunities. Georgia Tech recognized Dr. Merrick Furst’s development of these methods with the university’s highest award for Outstanding Achievement in Research Innovation.
Operating since 2011, Flashpoint is among the most experienced startup studios in the world. It is unique in its approach. Flashpoint startups have raised over $300 million from top tier venture firms. The companies in Flashpoint’s portfolio are valued at well over $1 billion. You can learn more about how Flashpoint works in a Forbes interview (https://goo.gl/t8OYYJ) with Dr. Furst, and in an excerpt from the recently released Harvard Business Review Press book, An Everyone Culture, Becoming a Deliberately Developmental Organization (Kegan and Lahey - https://goo.gl/M7oikx).About This Program
What to Expect
Flashpoint is an Atlanta-based, four month long program, divided into two parts, and ending in demo days in several cities. The first six weeks is a concentrated on-site program, usually involving three lectures or workshops per week, weekly critiqued team presentations, weekly office hours, and a weekly speaker series, in addition to numerous interactions with potential customers. The following 10 weeks includes ongoing lectures, workshops, and office hours, but can be conducted off-site. Innovation teams from larger companies work alongside startups in the same program, for example a Coca-Cola team is in the current cohort. See this article in Forbes or this talk by founder Merrick Furst to learn about program content.
Financial Considerations
Flashpoint requires accepted startups to be or convert to US C- Corporations. Invited startups receive a $20k investment as a SAFE, from an independent fund (created, in part, by successful companies developed at flashpoint.) In addition, flashpoint purchases 7% of company stock.

2. There is a fee to enter the program. For Boston Spring 2017, the fee is $899. This fee is refundable before the third session of the program.
3. Graduates from the program enter a "Shared Liquidity Pool", where every company provides 3.5% of their equity in the form of warrants to a shared pool for each cohort.
