Completing the Founder Institute pre-seed accelerator program is an honor.
The program is challenging, and the expectations are demanding. Join us for the Graduation of the latest Austin cohort, where you can see an inspiring talk by a successful entrepreneur and a few "debut" presentations from new Alumni. Learn about some of the pre-seed companies that will go onto seed-accelerators, raise funding, and build the next great Austin startups. The event will take place on Airmeet which gives you the unique opportunity to network virtually with fellow entrepreneurs, ecosystem leaders, community partners and celebrate the new Graduates at their virtual booths. Featuring Special Guest, Zaz Floreani, Principal at Next Coast Ventures.
