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 Moscow 2019 program.
If you could use a structured process and a lifetime of support from Moscow's top investors and entrepreneurs to build something meaningful, then apply to the Moscow 2019 Founder Institute today.
We will be hosting several free startup online events in Moscow 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 Moscow program is led by some of the region's top startup leaders, including Dmitry Gordienko (CEO, Gordinvest), Leyla Romanova (Moscow Chapter Director, Founder Institute).
