Silicon Valley Agreements
Below are all of the agreements you will be asked to sign in the Founder Institute.
Please note that Founders are NOT required to sign these agreements to enroll and start the program. Instead, you will be asked to sign them approximately two-thirds of the way through the program (2026-11-26 for the Silicon Valley Fall 2026 cohort), allowing you to fully understand the value the Founder Institute Network provides before committing equity in your business.
