Program Details

At Modulus, we have witnessed our clients achieve remarkable success, collectively generating billions of dollars in annual revenue.

While some of our clients are large corporations like JP Morgan Chase, Bank of America, and Nasdaq, many started with nothing – no team, no capital, and no experience in financial technology.

Over the years, Modulus has worked with thousands of clients including a mix of startups, SMBs, and SMEs through our Startup Program.

The Modulus Startup Program is similar to Y Combinator™, but specifically designed for fintechs.

In exchange for a small equity stake, ranging from 1 to 10%, plus a small quarterly membership fee, you'll receive access to select Modulus products and services.

Please note that Modulus provides software discounts and services but does not invest capital under this program.

To qualify, applicants must present a valid business plan and have access to sufficient capital to cover web hosting and at least one Modulus Developer license. After applying, Modulus will request further information from you if your application has been accepted.

Success Guarantee

Modulus guarantees significant value. If we fail to deliver, we will refund our equity stake (unlike other incubators).

License fees for Modulus clients who do not participate in the Modulus Startup Program range from $100,000 to $1 million and more. As a Startup Partner, these fees will be discounted or eliminated.

This program may boost your company's valuation tremendously. For example, if Modulus grants your startup a license for a solution normally sells for $1 million in exchange for a 5% equity stake, that lends credibility to giving your startup a valuation of $20 million.
