The Institute has notified just over 30 more applicants that they are accepted into the inaugural Semester. A few more acceptance letters are coming later this evening. The 5 Microsoft BizSpark Fellowships have been awarded, and the individuals will be notified tonight.
Congratulations!
The Institute is also starting to notify those that did not make it into the program. The major reason is the size of the Semester, which is limited to approximately 75 Founders. Every applicant that made it this phase in the process is exceptional, making the decision on each acceptance difficult.
If you do not receive an email from the Institute on Friday, then you are on the waiting list. If some of the accepted applicants do not complete their paperwork and requirements by Sunday, then the Institute will start to accept those on waiting list.
For those accepted, please complete the requirements at your earliest convenience. All of the legal documentation is available here, and we will do our best to answer your questions in a timely fashion.
We are all very excited!
