Atlantic & FoodLabs Founder Associate Program

The Founder Associate Program places a small group of exceptional candidates at the heart of early-stage ventures and the investors who back them. A launchpad for your founding journey or VC career with a rare, unfiltered view of how companies and funds are actually built.

The facts:

• Nine months. No shortcuts.

• 2-3 stations at early-stage ventures and the Atlantic & FoodLabs investment team

• 1:1 mentorship from our investment team

• A dedicated VC station

• Curated learning sessions and access to an exclusive community

• A cohort kick-off in Berlin with your fellow associates

Who this is for:

• You're a generalist with massive curiosity.

• You want broad, hands-on exposure to what it actually takes to build a company.

• You thrive in ambiguity, are open to travel and relocate for the right opportunity, and get energy from seeing how wildly different challenges across different companies and business models can be.

• You'll be inside actual ventures, with real pressure, limited runway, and founders who need you to show up and contribute from day one.
