Earlier today, Howard Greenstein of Inc.com wrote a story about the Founder Institute titled "Incubator Focuses on Founders First, Then Companies".
In the article, Greenstein describes his experience attending the recent NYC Founder Institute Demo Showcase, gets feedback from Founder Institute Graduates and Mentors, and explores the Institute's unique approach to cultivating strong startup founders. As Gabe Zichermann (Co-Leader of the NYC Founder Institute) so eloquently puts it, the program is "less about launching companies than launching founders."
