Empowering entrepreneurs with financial resources
Each participant will receive US$3,000 in Fiverr credits to invest directly into their business. These credits can be used to access top-tier freelance talent on Fiverr, from brand design to marketing to operations, giving founders the flexibility to solve pressing challenges and accelerate growth.
Centering coaching and shared learning
The program is built around personalized coaching and peer support. Every founder participates in three 1:1 coaching sessions, providing tailored guidance on their unique business challenges. Alongside this, five group coaching sessions connect entrepreneurs who are navigating similar problems or operating at the same stage of growth. These touchpoints are reinforced by all-cohort events, Fiverr-led expert sessions, and additional learning modules that strengthen practical skills and mark progress.
Building networks to catalyze growth
Community is the cornerstone of the Future Collective. Founders join a network of peers, alumni, and industry experts who continue to share knowledge and open doors long after the accelerator ends. With access to Fiverr leaders, freelancer matching experts, and the New Majority Ventures (NMV) ecosystem, participants build not only their businesses but also the lasting connections that sustain growth.
Mission
The mission of the Future Collective is to support underrepresented entrepreneurs within the Fiverr ecosystem by maximizing their opportunities for growth.
The program grew out of Fiverr’s commitment to enabling a more equitable playing field for entrepreneurs who face systemic structures, cultural barriers, or life circumstances working against them.
Overview
The Future Collective is an accelerator program by Fiverr for early-stage U.S. and Canada-based underrepresented entrepreneurs at pivotal moments in their business.
We're putting our purpose—to revolutionize how the world works together by creating opportunities for anyone to grow their business, brand, or dreams—into action. We do this by contributing to expanding access to funding, resources, education, and mentorship to empower entrepreneurs in attaining both prosperous business outcomes and long-term viability.
Program delivery is overseen by Fiverr and New Majority Ventures, a DC-based business working to accelerate individuals who have been historically underestimated from high potential to high growth.
We are so proud to be offering this program for a fifth year and are excited as our commitment to this work grows and evolves.
