First Come, First Served - The Last Few Spots

The Institute has an excellent group of local and remote Founders confirmed for the Summer 2009 Semester. We now have just under 75 participating Founders, and the last remaining spots will be offered on a first come, first served basis either before 10:00 AM PST Monday morning or until the Semester fills up.

There are currently 33 Founders with an invitation for the remaining spots. We have green lighted everyone on the waiting list. The ability to move quickly and decisively is a good trait among Founders. Good luck!
