We are thrilled to announce that as of today, the Founder Institute has officially crossed another of those invisible thresholds of progress, now having graduated more than 4,000 program Alumni! To celebrate this milestone, the FI marketing team did an informal survey among some of the Founder Institute HQ staff, to see which FI portfolio companies everyone is following most closely.
