About Stanford Seed Spark Program
An outside course the centre gives access to, rather than a programme it designs. The intake published on its page closed on 26 July 2026 and started on 21 August 2026, so it is between cohorts.
What you get
- Live expert sessions with global business leaders.
- Structured online learning modules.
- Peer huddles and founder networking.
- One-to-one mentoring and feedback from experienced business leaders.
Who can apply
- A founder or co-founder working full-time on the startup.
- A startup registered within the last five years.
- Revenue in the band the programme page specifies for the last twelve months.
How selection works: applications are reviewed after the closing date, admission status follows about a week later, and admitted founders pay the fee and are invited to orientation before the programme starts.
How to apply: through the application button on the programme page when the next intake opens. It is part-time, fully online and paid.
