FAQ
How does the partnership process work?
We're glad you asked. All great partnerships start with an email. We'd love to work with you to create a partnership that benefits both Startup Shell and you or your organization.
Are the packages the only partnership options?
Nope, we're happy to partner with anyone who shares our entrepreneurial goals. All we ask is that our portfolio companies benefit from the partnership in some way, shape, or form.
