The Founder Institute’s newest class of the Founder Lab Advisory Program is proud to welcome three up and coming Chennai Founder Institute Graduates: Cityrene, KIDSIFU, and ServiceTree. Since graduating from the Founder Institute, these three companies and their respective Founders have demonstrated considerable growth, and have proven themselves ready for expert mentorship from top startup experts.

The Founder Lab is a virtual advisory program that helps early-stage startups raise seed funding. Over the course of a regimented 3 month program, participants work closely with the Founder Institute's Silicon Valley HQ team to improve their pitch materials, build an investor pipeline, pitch to angels, negotiate terms, and generate strong investor interest.

Cityrene, founded by Dilipan Bose, builds eco-friendly homes using GFRG technology to help people buy quick, efficient and a smart home.

KIDISFU, founded by Taukheer Mohammed, is an app that helps communication between teachers and parents of kids at school or daycare.

ServiceTree, founded by Krishna Kumar Mani, is an ultra-convenient local service booking platform that connects users with trusted service providers.
