Now, more than ever, the world needs entrepreneurs to build the future.
At the Founder Institute, we know times are tough, but we also know that economic downturns are a great time to start a business. This isn't just conjecture - the Founder Institute was started in April of 2009 (during the "Great Recession"), and world-leading companies like Microsoft, Tesla, and Apple also took advantage of cost savings during a recession to launch and get their initial traction.
That's why we are excited to announce today that applications are now open for the Amsterdam 2024 program.
If you could use a structured process and a lifetime of support from Amsterdam's top investors and entrepreneurs to build something meaningful, then apply to the Amsterdam 2024 Founder Institute today.
We will be hosting several free startup online events in Amsterdam over the coming weeks, where you can learn from top entrepreneurs from the comfort of your home:
