How to create your startup profile on F6S
TL;DR
F6S is a founder network with 6.6 million members. One company profile lets you apply to 16,000 accelerators, grants and funding opportunities, claim software credits worth thousands of dollars and post jobs, all free. It suits early-stage founders who hunt for programmes, open calls and cloud credits.
What is F6S?
F6S is a platform run by F6S Network Limited in London, founded in 2011, where founders, accelerators, investors and corporates meet. The homepage counts 16k accelerators, grants and funding opportunities, 13k startup jobs and 523k job seekers. Accelerators, contests, events and corporate challenges run their application forms on F6S, so you fill in one company profile and reuse it for every application.
The second half of F6S is the deals section: discounts and credits on cloud and software tools. In October 2026 the list included $5,000 in AWS credits, $10,000 in GitHub credits, 1 free ChatGPT Business seat and up to 18% off Google Workspace. F6S says members save up to 80%.
Every company gets a public page at f6s.com/company/your-name that lists founders, team, investors and open jobs.
Who should create an F6S profile?
- Pre-seed and seed founders applying to accelerators, incubators, grants and open calls.
- Startups paying for cloud and SaaS tools: the credits alone repay the hour you spend on the profile.
- Founders hiring their first employees or interns: job posts are free and reach the F6S job seekers.
- Less useful for consumer products looking for buyers: the audience is founders, programme teams and investors.
How much does F6S cost?
Creating a profile, applying to programmes, claiming deals and posting jobs are free. The homepage invites you to join 6.6 million members for free, and the jobs page says posting a startup job is free. We found no paid plan for founders on f6s.com in October 2026.
Two things still cost money. Some deals are discounts on paid products, such as the AWS pay-as-you-go discount, so you keep paying the vendor. And F6S-branded services such as R&D tax credit claims (f6staxcredits.com) run on their own terms. Programmes listed on F6S also set their own conditions, including any equity they take.
How do you add your startup to F6S?
- Join at f6s.com with Google or email.
- Add your company from the Add your menu, then Company or Organization. Fill in the one-line description, location, sectors, founders and team.
- Invite your co-founders so each personal profile links to the company page.
- Find programmes at f6s.com/programs, filter by region and sector, and apply with your company profile.
- Claim deals at f6s.com/software once the company profile is complete.
Tips to get more out of F6S
- Fill in traction and funding before you apply. Programme managers read the same profile for every application, so gaps repeat everywhere.
- Set reminders for deadlines. The programmes page lists each call with its date; note the ones that fit your sector and region.
- Claim the cloud credits first. AWS, GitHub and Google Workspace offers bring the fastest return on your time.
- Check your email settings. The F6S terms say some service emails cannot be switched off, so use an address you check.
- Keep the team list current. The public company page shows founders and employees, and an outdated team looks careless to a programme manager.
Our verdict
F6S deserves one focused hour from any early-stage founder: a free profile, real programme applications and software credits that save money in the first year. Use it for applications and perks, and look elsewhere for customers. The DA of 74 belongs to f6s.com; the return comes from the programmes and credits.
