The London Founder Institute, the local chapter of the world's largest pre-seed startup accelerator, is proud to announce the newest Alumni from the London Spring 2023 program.
After meticulous selection process and intense four months of aggressive business-building sprints, constant evaluation, and feedback from investors and mentors, just 11 companies were able to make it through.
Each of these Founders have demonstrated a high level of perseverance and creativity, and their businesses have been thoroughly vetted and supported by a panel of London's top startup experts and investors.
And now, without further ado, we present the Alumni of the London program:
- Funzeventz - a digital platform that allows busy parents to plan and manage their children's events.

- TheSchooly - reimagined cyber awareness training for workers to address their cognitive vulnerabilities
- Beautyboostr - a professional spa app adapted for home use, empowering you to become your own facialist and look your best.
- Imole Digital Wellbeing - mental wellbeing app that connects science with everyday human experiences.
