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
