FAQ

Common questions.

Is there a cost to the program?

No. There is no fee to participate. Althra is founder-first and designed to remove barriers so you can focus on building.

Do you take equity?

Yes. We invest in each company and receive equity in return. Terms are shared transparently during the interview process.

Do I need to move?

Yes, for the duration of the program. Althra is built around in-person momentum, and founders are expected to build from our Vancouver space.

Do I need a co-founder?

No. Solo founders are welcome. What matters most is your ability to execute and move fast.

What industries do you focus on?

We’re sector-agnostic. We care more about bold problems, strong founder–problem fit, and clear execution than industry.

What level of traction do you expect?

At minimum, a working MVP or prototype. Bonus points for early users, pilots, or revenue.
