The Founder Institute is an early-stage startup accelerator and global launch network that, in just three years of operation, has helped launch over 550 companies across 27 cities and five continents. Through our 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 class, creating strong teamwork-based startup ecosystems where great companies can flourish. We call it "Globalizing Silicon Valley."
If you would like to learn more, then join a free Startup Pitch Bootcamp Event on Tuesday, July 31st.
Leading the Founder Institute's efforts in Rio de Janeiro are two leaders of the local startup scene; Russ Rive (Founder & CEO of SuperUber) and David Bailey (Technology Entrepreneur and ex-Venture Partner).
The program is open to anybody that is passionate about building a technology company: idea or no idea, full-time job or unemployed, young or old, male or female, experienced in business or straight out of school. We also support a wide range of technology industries: including digital media, software, biotech, cleantech, ecommerce, advertising, consumer electronics, and more.
