If you are interested in joining our program for mentorship, we kindly ask you to submit your application online.For those who apply before the regular deadline, responses will be provided by the 29th of each month. Applications submitted after the deadline will still be considered, although we cannot provide a specific response date.We encourage you to submit your application as soon as you are prepared. We review applications on a rolling basis, and early submissions may be selected for an early interview. You can also continue to update your application after you've submitted it.Promising applications will be invited for an interview. Most interviews will be held via video conference. We typically make decisions on the same day as your interview, and we provide detailed feedback on our decisions to everyone who interviews.
Our program takes place online via Circle. It commences with a 1-hour onboarding call, and includes weekly study sessions for the first month. In the first month, you will catch up on all of course work and past lectures in order to prepare for the program.
Students work closely with us on a weekly basis. We maintain close contact with a small group of students that we personally select for each cohort, providing advice and guidance. During the program, we invite prominent figures from the e-commerce world to speak. Founders of successful brands often share their experiences and insights from their early days.
Like many universities, each Manifest Five Academy cohort consists of small, autonomous groups of companies. You journey through the program as part of this small group, have weekly work sessions with them, and build both personal and professional relationships. During and after the program, we connect founders to those who can help with any challenge. Often, this means bringing in other alumni of Manifest Five Academy. The alumni network is a powerful community, and its members have a strong commitment to help one another.
The Manifest Five Academy experience doesn't end after the program. We continue to support founders for the life of their business, and so does the alumni community. For any other questions, please reach out to our program lead Jason@manifestfive.com.
