Based in Silicon Valley and with chapters across 200 cities and 100 countries, the Founder Institute has helped launch over 9,000 companies, which have created over 30,000 new jobs. The company's mission is to “Globalize Silicon Valley” and create sustainable startup ecosystems that will create one million new jobs worldwide.
In the Founder Institute's four-month, part-time program, promising entrepreneurs “learn by doing” and launch a company through structured training courses, practical business-building assignments, and expert feedback from a large network of business mentors. Plus, aspiring founders are not required to quit their day job to participate, so they can begin building a business around their ideas without putting their livelihood at risk.
Leading the Founder Institute's efforts in Hanoi are Pham Minh Tuan, Founder and CEO of the TOPICA Edtech Group; Mai Duy Quang, Founder & CEO at Biaki; and Tran Manh Cong of the TOPICA Edtech Group.
Hanoi is home to some of the country's most successful startups, including VNG, CleverAds, VCCorp, and Appota, and posesses an environment that's conducive to entrepreneurial expansion.
It's amazing when working with founders in Vietnam; they have big dreams, and teams of the talented, hungry, and foolish. I believe if they have the support, training, and guidance of the Founder Institute, they can acquire huge success." - Mai Duy Quang
