As we launch the Lisbon Spring 2014 Founder Institute, we are excited to announce a partnership with APME, the premier association for women entrepreneurs in Portugal.
Through this partnership, members of the APME community can apply to the program for free ($50 value), and the most extraordinary applicant from the community will be awarded the APME Fellowship, giving them the opportunity to enroll in the program for free ($700 value). The recipient will be recognized as somebody with the utmost potential to become a successful technology entrepreneur.
In order to be eligible for the APME Fellowship for the Spring 2014 Lisbon Semester, you must complete your application and admissions test by the Early Application Deadline (2014-04-27), using this link.
The recipient of the Fellowship will be awarded within 72 hours after the Early Application Deadline.
In the Founder Institute's four-month, part-time program, promising startup entrepreneurs “learn by doing” and launch a company through structured training courses, practical business-building assignments, and expert feedback from a large network of business mentors. Plus, aspiring founders are not required to quit their day job to participate, so they can begin building a business around their ideas without putting their livelihood at risk.
