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 Pakistan 2024 program.
If you could use a structured process and a lifetime of support from Islamabad's top investors and entrepreneurs to build something meaningful, then apply to the Pakistan 2024 Founder Institute today.
