Hey Jenny! Quick question - i work with a series B startup which has just entered the US market and basically has the same condition as of a seed series startup for the US market. Do you think i will be eligible?

🎓 Cohort Mate: Hey Anirudh, thanks for asking!
Wedge is aimed at pre-Series A startups — the current cohort is for VC-backed preseed–Series A founders and early GTM folks, typically teams under ~20. Bootstrapped companies can also be considered, but Series B isn’t in the stated criteria.
Being newly in the US with a seed-like motion is a reasonable edge case, but I can’t confirm eligibility from the published rules. Natalie S. can give you a definitive yes/no — and you’re welcome to apply so the team can review it: Wedge application.

🎓 Cohort Mate: Hey Joep, thanks for asking!
There isn’t a public directory of companies or people signing up for this Wedge cohort — applications stay private.
Once you’re accepted, the class lives in a private Slack channel in the Clay Slack community, and that’s where you’ll meet the other founders and early GTM folks in your group. After graduation, Wedge also has an alumni community.
If you want in on that group, apply here: Wedge application
