The Founder Institute is an early-stage startup accelerator and global launch network that helps entrepreneurs create meaningful and enduring technology companies. Through a part-time four month program, existing and prospective founders can launch their dream company with expert training, feedback, and support from experienced startup CEOs - while not being required to quit their day job. Our unique Graduate Liquidity Pool also enables graduates and mentors to share in the equity upside of each graduating class, creating local, teamwork-based ecosystems where new businesses can flourish.
In just three years of operation, the Founder Institute has helped launch over 550 companies across 27 cities and five continents - making us the world's largest startup accelerator. Our goal is to "Globalize Silicon Valley" by launching 1,000 meaningful and enduring technology companies per year in over 30 cities worldwide.
Leading a Founder Institute chapter is an exciting way to take a leading role in the local startup ecosystem, and bring together the right local mentors, founders, and service providers to build meaningful and enduring new companies. The Institute provides the curriculum and all of the online tools necessary to run a fun and engaging chapter with as little administration burden as possible.
