The Amsterdam Founder Institute, the local chapter of the world's largest pre-seed startup accelerator, is proud to announce the newest Alumni from the Amsterdam - Silicon Valley Virtual 2021 program.

Over 1300 people applied to the program, and after an intense four months of aggressive business-building sprints and constant evaluation and feedback from investors and mentors, just fourteen companies were able to make it through. 

Each of these Founders have demonstrated a high level of perseverance and creativity, and their businesses have been thoroughly vetted and supported by a panel of Amsterdam's top startup experts and investors.  

And now, without further ado, we present the newest Alumni of the Amsterdam program: 

The new Amsterdam - Silicon Valley program Alumni invite members of the public to join them for a graduation online event this Thursday, May 27th, 2021 - click here to learn more and RSVP free
