Why we started FMP

Most people don't quit tech because it's hard. They quit because they're on their own.

“I finally stopped guessing.”

How we want every mentee to feel by week four.

You've probably been there. Three tutorials in, a project that almost works, and nobody to ask why the build keeps failing. You spend a whole weekend on something a senior dev would spot in five minutes, and slowly you start to think maybe this isn't for you.

FMP exists for that exact moment. We match you with someone who has already made the mistakes you're about to make, and we keep you building until you have work you're proud to show people.

A real person, every week

Not a chatbot or a pre-recorded course. A mentor who knows your name and your project.

Work you can show

You leave with a finished project, a clean GitHub or Behance, and the story behind it.

People going the same way

A cohort of people at your level, so you're never the only one stuck.

The mentors

Meet the people in your corner.

Engineers, designers and product leads who still remember their first job hunt, and want to make that part shorter for you.

How it works

From your first message to demo day.

Twelve weeks with a clear structure, and enough room for real life to happen in between.

See the full process
  1. A laptop open on the FMP application form beside an application checklist
    Step 01

    Apply

    Tell us where you are right now and where you want to be. It takes about five minutes, and honest answers help us more than impressive ones.

  2. The FMP matching screen on a laptop and a tablet showing a mentee's mentor match
    Step 02

    Get matched

    We read every application ourselves. Then we pair you with a mentor based on your career path, level, goals and the times that work for both of you.

  3. A desk with code, a project progress board and notes from a mentor
    Step 03

    Build with support

    Weekly 1:1s, reviews on your work and a real project that grows with you. When you get stuck, you have people to ask.

  4. An FMP demo day stage set up for the project showcase
    Step 04

    Show what you built

    Present your project at demo day in front of mentors, your cohort and guests from the industry. Then keep going, with a network that doesn't disappear.

The community

Nobody here learns alone.

Late-night debugging calls, study groups that turn into friendships, and people who share job links the moment they see them. The mentorship ends after twelve weeks. The community doesn't.

What's inside the program

The next cohort starts soon. Save your seat.

The application takes about five minutes. We read every one ourselves, and you'll hear back from us within a week.
