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 Honduras Virtual 2020 program.

If you could use a structured process and a lifetime of support from San Pedro Sula's top investors and entrepreneurs to build something meaningful, then apply to the Honduras Virtual 2020 Founder Institute today.

Local COVID-19 Update: In an effort to #StopTheSpread and ensure everyone’s health and safety, this program is planned to be held online. Learn more on our Virtual Program FAQ page.

We will be hosting several free startup online events in San Pedro Sula over the coming weeks, where you can learn from top entrepreneurs from the comfort of your home:

  • Founder Institute Online Information Session: https://FI.co/infosession

Based in Silicon Valley and with chapters across 200+ cities worldwide, the Founder Institute provides high-potential entrepreneurs and teams with the devoted support network and structured growth process needed to get to traction and funding. Participants in the 4-month core program also get access to a lifetime of support through the Founder Institute's industry-leading post-programs.

The San Pedro Sula program is led by some of the region's top startup leaders, including David Sandino (Director, T&M), Jacinto Cho (Treasurer, TODOLEGAL.APP), Josue Reyes (Coordinator, Unitec), Paola Paz (Arquitecto , Orgánica EcoArq).
