Getting accepted into Founder Institute is a big step. But being accepted and deciding to enroll are two different decisions. If you’ve been accepted into Founder Institute Lagos but still have questions about the program, this session is for you. We’re having an open, honest conversation about what it actually takes to go through the program—including the cost, workload, time commitment, equity, expectations, founder support, and what you can realistically get out of the experience. There will be no sales pitch and no question is off limits. The Lagos Directors will walk you through how the program works, what founders can expect week to week, and how to decide whether Founder Institute is the best for your startup and your current stage

You’ve Been Accepted. What Comes Next?

Getting accepted means Founder Institute believes you have the potential to build a meaningful company. But the next decision is yours: Is the program right for you, right now?
Join the Founder Institute Lagos Directors for a candid AMA designed specifically for founders who are considering whether to take the next step.

What We’ll Cover

  • How Founder Institute actually works;
  • The real cost of joining;
  • The workload and time commitment;
  • What you can expect to gain;
  • Who Founder Institute is best suited for;
  • What happens after the program;
  • Your questions, answered honestly.

This Session Is For You If...

  • You have already been accepted into Founder Institute Lagos but haven't enrolled yet.
  • You are excited about the opportunity but still have questions about the cost, workload, equity, time commitment, or potential outcomes.
  • You are comparing Founder Institute with other ways to spend the next few months building your startup and want to make an informed decision.
  • You simply want to hear directly from the Lagos Directors and other people who understand what the program requires.

Bring Your Questions

This is an AMA—Ask Me Anything.

If you're wondering “Is it really worth it?”, “Can I do this while working?”, “What exactly am I paying for?”, “What happens if I can't keep up?”, or “What will I actually have at the end of the program?”—ask.

We'll answer as openly as possible.
