The Early Application Deadline for the Toronto Spring 2024 Semester is coming up soon (Feb 04, 2024).

If you could use expert training and advice to launch a technology startup in Toronto, then apply today.

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.

If you apply by the Early Application Deadline (Feb 04, 2024), you get to take the Predictive Admissions Test for free ($50 value), and you are also eligible to receive one of several Toronto Founder Institute Fellowships:

The Female Founder Fellowship is awarded to the most extraordinary female applicant for each chapter, giving them the opportunity to enroll in the Founder Institute for free. The recipient will be recognized as a female with the utmost potential to become a succesful technology entrepreneur.

The FFF is part of the Founder Institute's ongoing effort to surpass 30% of female-led companies graduating from the program. When we announced the program in 2011, 16% of Founder Institute companies were founded by females. Since then, the results of this program have been astounding, as our overall number of female-founded companies has increased 62%, to a total of 26%. This is more than twice as high as most other incubators.

Eligibility: In order to be eligible for the Female Founder Fellowship for the Toronto Spring 2024 Semester, you must complete your application and Admissions Test by the early Application Deadline of 11:59 PM on Feb 04, 2024. Any female who follows those guidelines will be automatically eligible - no further steps are required. 

Grant: The recipient of the Female Founder Fellowship will be awarded within 72 hours after the Early Application Deadline, and the status of the Fellowship will be updated here.
