StartX is one of the most prestigious accelerators for Stanford-affiliated founders—and unlike most programs, it takes zero equity. In this episode, we unpack what makes StartX so powerful: access to 1,800+ mentors, over $1.2M in startup perks, and deep ties to the Stanford network, all without giving up any ownership or paying program fees.
We break down who’s eligible, what the accelerator and fellowship tracks look like, and how to stand out in the application process. Whether you're a current student with an idea or a Stanford alum scaling a venture, this episode is your guide to making the most of StartX—and how XRaise can help you get in.
