Stealth Mode is a 3-month mentorship program for women and non-binary founders looking to take their early-stage tech startups to the next level.

To support the next generation of women, non-binary, underrepresented founders, Factory Berlin is launching the 4th edition of the Stealth Mode program, powered by Google for Startups and Henkel dx.

The program provides founders from underrepresented backgrounds and marginalized communities with more resources, support, and enhanced visibility. We are actively looking for BIPOC founders to participate in the program. In light of the opening of Factory Hammerbrooklyn in May 2021, this cohort will heavily focus on empowering underrepresented entrepreneurs in both Hamburg and Berlin by curating mentors and experts from both cities, and hosting program meetups in both our locations.
