The M13 Launchpad is excited to announce a new Founder-in-Residence (FIR) program, with sponsorship from PepsiCo! We are seeking a cohort of four MBA Associates to join the Launchpad Program Team as we build, execute and facilitate a three-month program for Founders.

Each Associate will have the opportunity to work with a Partner at M13, take ownership of answering key questions specific to their role, and generate deliverables for each of the companies across three phases of our program. A successful cohort will require breadth and depth of expertise across marketing, finance, analytics, operations, and more. We are seeking a collaborative team to support the founders as they scale solutions with the potential to have a meaningful impact on consumers’ lives.
