From the start, WebFWD has been a global program. Not long after launch, we expanded to the UK, Greece and Finland. Then, a month later we added a team in Canada. The inflow of WebFWD applications reflects what we already know: the Mozilla brand resonates worldwide.

Today we’re thrilled to announce a partnership with Rockstart, an accelerator based in Amsterdam. Founded by entrepreneurs who are deeply involved in the Dutch startup scene, participants in Startup Weekend Amsterdam and Startup Weekend Eindhoven, the guys at Rockstart understand the power of building bridges across regions.

We’ve been impressed by their resourcefulness, tenacity and flexibility. Like us, they understand the power of connection and collaboration. We believe that by working together, we’ll discover great teams and identify some powerful opportunities. A tagline on their website reads, “From the basement to Woodstock…”

Expect some epic rock and roll!
