Brief

NFX FAST is a fundraising competition run by NFX that officially opened applications on March 10, 2026; the program offers six distinct tracks with deadlines in mid‑April 2026 and is positioned as an antidote to slow, opaque fundraising cycles. The FAST format prioritizes a short, simple application, transparent deal terms, and rapid, timely decisions to reduce ghosting and long timelines. The announcement—authored by the NFX Team—includes a direct apply link and cross‑promotion to NFX’s newsletter (more than 200,000 founder subscribers). The program is presented as NFX’s signature funding effort and is headquartered at 34 Page Street, San Francisco, CA 94102.

NFX FAST is Open for Applications

By NFX Team

NFX FAST is now accepting applications. NFX FAST is our signature fundraising competition. We built it because fundraising is broken. Endless forms, vague timelines, ghosted follow-ups.

FAST is the antidote. Simple application. Transparent terms. Timely decisions.

We have 6 tracks open right now, with deadlines in mid-April.
