The Amsterdam - Silicon Valley Virtual 2021 program would not have been possible without help, because it truly takes a city to raise a startup. We would first like to thank the Local Leaders of the Amsterdam Founder Institute: Anna Radulovski (Co-founder & CEO, WomenTech Network) and Ivo Radulovski (CEO, Jump Start Venture Capital). Our Local Leaders play an incredibly important role in building the local Founder Institute program, and creating an environment and network in the Netherlands that is conducive to building to great companies.
Some of Amsterdam’s top startup mentors helped our founders in the program, including:
In the Founder Institute's pre-seed accelerator program, early-stage entrepreneurs and teams build their business alongside a critical support network of local startup experts that share equity in their success, and through a structured and challenging business-building process that has helped alumni raise over $1.85BN.
After Graduation, the new Amsterdam - Silicon Valley Founder Institute Portfolio Companies now have a fast-growing company that has been fully validated by experienced startup founders, with access to the Founder Institute's global network and post-graduate support programs to continue building their business.
Leaders of the world’s fastest-growing startups have used the Founder Institute to raise funding, building a co-founding team, get into seed-accelerators, generate traction, recruit a team, build a product, transition from employee to entrepreneur, and more.
