Focus and fit
Who the program is for
Program thesis
Propellant focuses on early-stage B2B technology companies in the Midwest, especially Pre-Seed and Seed rounds. Its public criteria emphasize Midwest location, B2B focus, experienced founders/teams, product-market fit, and underserved regions, with check sizes framed at US$50,000-US$100,000 for Pre-Seed and US$100,000-US$500,000 for Seed.
Eligibility
No public eligibility page was found for prospective fellows. The only named Venture Fellow profile emphasizes substantial startup, investor-alliance, research, and due-diligence experience across multiple markets, suggesting the role targets experienced operators/researchers rather than undergraduate students.
Selection approach
No public fellow application page, deadline, application form, nomination path, or intake process was found. Propellant's site footer contains a 'Careers' label, but the public pages reviewed do not expose a current fellowship application.
