Canopy Spring 2026

Canopy Spring 2026 is the current Canopy cohort at Founders, Inc., running April 15 through May 22, 2026. The cohort kicked off April 15 with 200 teams building on campus at Fort Mason and 800 teams joining online — the first time Canopy has opened an online track. ¹³

How it works

The five-week program is built around weekly momentum. Founders define a clear goal each week, build toward it, and ship publicly every Friday ("Ship It"). The structure runs on Discord as the main home base, with live talks twice a week and ongoing community interaction. ²

Weekly cadence:

• Tuesdays 2pm PT - Portfolio speaker sessions (livestreamed)
• Thursdays 2pm PT - Guest speakers and bigger talks (livestreamed)
• Fridays - Ship It

Top teams may receive $50K-$250K in funding from Founders, Inc. for 4-7% equity. ¹
