The Founder Institute, the world's largest startup accelerator, is now accepting applications for the Denver Summer Semester. Since launching in Denver in 2010, the Founder Institute has helped launch nearly 40 companies and excited to launch many more.

If you could benefit from expert training and advice to launch a technology startup in Denver, click here to apply today. The program is open to existing and prospective technology founders of all kinds – with or without an idea, young or old, and with a full-time job or unemployed. Those who apply by the Early Application Deadline (June 16) will have their application fees waived (typically $50) and are eligible for Founder Institute Fellowships

The Founder Institute is an early-stage startup accelerator and global launch network that, in just three years of operation, has helped launch over 750 companies across 40 cities and five continents. Through our part-time four month program, existing and prospective founders can launch their dream company with expert training, feedback, and support from experienced startup CEOs - while not being required to quit their day job. Our unique Graduate Liquidity Pool also enables graduates and mentors to share in the equity upside of each class, creating strong teamwork-based startup ecosystems where great companies can flourish. We call it "Globalizing Silicon Valley."

The Denver Chapter will take place on Tuesday evenings from July 23rd to November 12th and will be led by local leaders Adam Swiecki, Jim Franklin, Mike Stemple, and Gary Gaessler. After serving the Institute for several years as a top-rated mentor, Gary will be stepping into the roll of a director to further assist local founders in their startup journey. We are excited to have Gary join us in Denver and we welcome him on board. 

During these four months, founders will learn how to evaluate their market, build a team, raise capital, and finally, launch a technology startup. Click here to see the full curriculum and start your journey with us today.

The program is open to existing and prospective technology founders of all kinds - with or without an idea, young or old, and with a full-time job or unemployed.

                                             We hope you will join us in Denver and launch a company in 2013.
