Terms in plain English

Ready Set Raise was an accelerator for women and nonbinary founders run by Female Founders Alliance, which rebranded as Graham and Walker. The accelerator no longer appears on the current Graham and Walker site, and its terms were never confirmed by us and are not published. The operator today runs a venture fund alongside free founder support, including a Founder Hub resource library and one day Founder Day events held in 2025 in Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and New York. Founders seeking capital can pitch the fund directly, but there is no published accelerator application, cohort schedule, or program terms.

Who this is actually for

Historically this program served women and nonbinary founders raising early rounds. Today the operator's fund and Founder Day events target pre seed and seed founders, and the accelerator itself is not accepting applications.
