500 Global Batch 35 was a 30-startup accelerator cohort run by 500 Global (formerly 500 Startups) in San Francisco, California. The program ran from October 2024 to February 2025. Each startup received $150,000 in exchange for 5% equity. 500 Global continues to be one of the most active global venture capital firms, with investments in over 2,800 companies across more than 80 countries.
