First Applicants Admitted to San Diego / Orange County

The Founder Institute has accepted two dozen applicants into the inaugural San Diego / Orange County semester, and another dozen applicants have been placed on the waiting list. Accepted applicants have until Sunday at 5:00 PM PST to complete their enrollment, at which time any unfilled positions in the semester will be offered to the other Founders on a first come, first served basis.

The Institute designed the enrollment process to pressure Founders to make a quick decision about entering the program, simulating the day-to-day challenges of running a successful startup. Often times in a new company, Founders are pressed to make live or die decisions with little time and less information. By comparison, the choice to enroll in the Institute is far easier.

Good luck to everyone, and we look forward to starting the semester next Tuesday!
