You have been accepted into Silicon Valley Fall 2026. This is where you meet the people you will be building alongside. Founder Institute is now the largest AI-native company builder in the world. Founders directing the right agents can build faster and leaner than ever, and FI gives you the sprints, AI agents, mentors and funding pathways to do it. This session makes that concrete: the Directors of your chapter, alumni who have been through the program, and founders enrolling with you. Bring your questions about the program, the sprints, or your own startup. Open only to Accepted and Enrolled Founders in the Silicon Valley Fall 2026 cohort
What You'll Learn:
- How the Silicon Valley chapter runs, and what your first weeks actually look like;
- What the sprints and AI agents do for your startup, from founders who have used them;
- Which mentors sit in this chapter, and how founders get the most out of them;
- What alumni would do differently if they were starting the program again;
- Answers to your own questions, on your own startup, from people who have been through it.
Who Should Attend:
- Accepted Founders deciding whether to enroll in Silicon Valley Fall 2026;
Enrolled Founders who want to meet the Directors before the program starts;
Founders already working through their Growth Sprints who want mentor and alumni input;
Anyone in the cohort who wants to know the people in the room before week one.
