The program offers investment amounts ranging from $500,000 to $2,000,000, with a groundbreaking 9-day decision timeline that eliminates the typical fundraising wait.

Funding through NFX FAST comes with more than just capital—accepted founders gain access to the exclusive NFX Guild, a network of over 400 successful founders who provide strategic guidance, introductions, and operational support. The selection process prioritizes teams building network effects businesses and companies with strong product-market fit potential. NFX's investment team reviews applications rapidly and provides clear feedback, whether the decision is yes or no, allowing founders to move forward with their fundraising process quickly.

To apply to NFX FAST, founders should visit fast.nfx.com and submit their application directly through the platform. The program operates on a rolling basis, accepting applications year-round and making decisions within 9 days of submission. Once you submit, the NFX team will evaluate your startup's network effects potential, team strength, and market opportunity, then provide a rapid decision so you can either close your round or continue your fundraising journey with clarity.
