The Institute training and apprenticeship program is complimentary with other incubators, such as Y Combinator and TechStars, both of whom have history in Boston. "Several people have suggested that the program is competitive with TechStars... However, I just don’t see it that way and encourage all kinds of programs like this in the entrepreneurial ecosystem," states Brad Feld (TechStars Co-Founder) on his blog, encouraging entrepreneurs to apply to the Institute.
Boston is the third East Coast location, eighth U.S. location, and 10th chapter of the Founder Institute worldwide. The Institute now expects to enroll 800 founders per year in a four-month training and apprenticeship program, differentiated by shared equity upside of all participants. Apply today here.
