The New Normal means New Opportunities: today, the world needs more entrepreneurs to help lead the way in building a brighter future for all.

The Founder Institute, the world’s most proven network to turn ideas into fundable startups, and startups into global businesses, is excited to announce that it is officially launching its newest chapter in Algeria. While the Silicon-Valley based network has chapters in over 200 cities worldwide, entrepreneurs in Algeria can finally now take advantage of the Founder Institute's proven processes to build an enduring company that can survive and thrive in the years to come in an uncertain world.

Applications to the first ever Algeria Founder Institute are now open, and anyone interested in building a technology company can apply at FI.co/apply/algiers

Since 2009, our highly-structured accelerator programs have helped entrepreneurs at the earliest stages grow quickly, know what to do next, and make connections with the largest community of startup advisors.

It all starts with our renowned ‘FI Core’ accelerator, which pushes founders at the idea and pre-seed stages to reach the milestones needed for investment and sustained growth. Alumni of FI Core then receive free access to our advanced ‘Founder Lab’ accelerators for years to come, and can get matched with prospective investors in the FI Venture Network, a collection of global funds actively investing in the earliest rounds of funding. 

To celebrate the launch, the Founder Institute will host several free online startup events in Algeria, where you can learn from top entrepreneurs all from the comfort of home:
