Moderne Passport is a six-month industry immersion program that helps growth-stage companies sharpen their go-to-market strategy, secure pilot opportunities, and connect with potential investors and acquirers. Participants receive hands-on mentorship and gain access to the expansive Moderne Network—more than 700 corporations and senior executives from top companies.
Cohorts meet roughly once a month at events across the country, where founders showcase their products, engage with mentors, and participate in curated industry and private corporate gatherings. The program delivers strategic guidance, expert support, real-world pilot opportunities, and high-value exposure to decision-makers.
Although industry-agnostic, most participating companies share common characteristics:
Target Markets: Strong fit within Moderne’s core sectors, with potential to expand into additional verticals
Revenue: Typically between $1M and $30M+
Customers: From early traction to fully established client bases
Financing: Seed stage and beyond, often with backing from top-tier investors
Product: Out of beta and ready to scale nationally or globally
Business Models: Preference for disruptive SaaS platforms in digital media, fintech, business services, and big data, especially B2B-focused companies
Moderne Passport equips these companies with the relationships, insights, and momentum needed to accelerate growth at scale.
