2026 Accelerator Diligence
Congratulations on moving to the next step in the Accelerator process.
For over a decade, Fast Forward has supported early stage tech nonprofits. This means we know and understand that you may not have some of the below requested items! Please fill out the form to the best of your abilities, based on materials & documents you currently have.
All information will remain confidential within the Fast Forward team. We look forward to reviewing your submissions.
Please provide a link to a
Loom video of your product. Your demo should be ~5 minutes long and include the most important parts. For example, you can skip including a user registration process.
If it is not possible to record a Loom, please provide a login to your platform (including the URL), a link to a Google Drive folder with screenshots, or similar.
The more information you are able to provide, the more insight we can gain into your tech nonprofit. You will not be penalized for any answers showing "bad" information. We regularly accept teams into the Accelerator that have no runway, operate at a deficit, or face other pressing financial concerns.
1. Please provide a link to your most relevant financial document.
*
We understand that different organizations are in different places with financial documentation. Please submit whatever you feel most accurately represents your financial situation. This could be as complex as an annual budget or as simple as a basic profit/loss statement or expense sheet from the past 6 months.
2. If you are a registered 501(c)3 and have a 990, please provide a link to it here (Google Drive, Candid profile, etc.)
If you are not a registered 501(c)3, you can skip this question.
3. Please provide a list of your significant funders.
For this question, we define a "significant funder" as a philanthropic foundation, corporate partner, public-facing high net worth individual, or similar.
If your organization is bootstrapped/funded by friends & family, you can share that, but you do not need to list names. You do not need to provide a list of every single person who has funded your organization.
You are welcome to list your funders in this box or to submit a link to a document.
4. How many months of runway do you currently have?
Your "runway" is how long you could continue operating based on your current cash reserves before running out of money. As noted above: you will not be penalized if your current answer is "0" - Fast Forward appreciates the opportunity to be a first major funder.
5. If you have an earned revenue strategy, about how much money is that bringing in monthly (in USD)?
Many organizations do not have an earned revenue strategy at this early phase. Please put "n/a" if this question does not apply to you, and "0" if you have an earned revenue strategy that is not yet bringing in funds.
