FBSTART was an accelerator program designed to empower early-stage startups, particularly those in emerging markets, by providing them with essential resources to scale their applications on the Facebook platform. Recognizing the challenges these startups faced in accessing technical tools, financial credits, mentorship, and comprehensive support, FBSTART offered a tailored program. This included access to tools, up to $40,000 in credits to offset operational costs, expert mentorship from industry leaders, intensive bootcamps to enhance skills, and a vibrant community for networking and collaboration. The program focused on startups that were building products integrated with Facebook's ecosystem. Ultimately, the FBSTART program was discontinued and subsequently rebranded as Meta's Startup program, although the specific reasons for this transition remain undisclosed.
