Noémie selected as Merge Grantsmith

Noémie is looking to support people building ambitious technology projects.

She has worked hands-on with early-stage founders across Europe and the U.S., guiding them through the idea maze and helping them launch companies from zero.

As the Director of the Founders Fellowship (ODF) in San Francisco, she has supported more than 1,000 founders start companies — many of whom went on to raise over $2B from leading funds including Sequoia, a16z, and Founders Fund.

She's also a Director at Solo Founders, the first program and community dedicated to solo founders, whose members collectively count 35,000+ GitHub stars, are backed by firms such as Susa Ventures and Long Journey Ventures, and have landed governments and Fortune 500 companies as clients.

Applicants must qualify for basic financial need in order to qualify for a Merge Grant. Microgrants from Merge are 100% no-strings-attached – we don't take any equity or ownership of any kind.

Grantees also get access to $800k in perks, a community of other talented builders and access to the ODF community 👀

Applications close Oct 24th!
