About this application

A value-driven community is a curated community. That’s why we ask all prospective members to complete an extensive application form. In this process, we dare you to share openly about yourself – your experiences, your aspirations, and what makes you stand out – and we’ll tell you a bit more about what being a member at Factory Berlin means too.

We accept new members based not just on their individual qualifications, but on how we believe they will impact the overall composition of our community. Our careful process of curation ensures that we always have a diversity of industries, skill sets, backgrounds, and perspectives represented among our members. You can expect this process to take about half an hour.

Women, non-binary and gender non-conforming, and transgender individuals are significantly underrepresented in the global startup ecosystem.

BIPoC (Black, Indigenous and People of Colour) are routinely discriminated against in professional settings. We ask applicants to share whether they are from an underrepresented ethnic group because we want to be a model for diversity and inclusion, and are committed to lifting intersectional perspectives. By collecting this information, we are making access to our community more equitable for groups who in the past have been underrepresented in this environment.
