Kuala Lumpur Founder Institute Opens Applications for the Spring 2015 Semester

The Founder Institute, world's largest entrepreneur training and startup launch program, is now accepting applications for the Malaysia Winter 2023 Semester. Since launching in Kuala Lumpur in 2013, the Founder Institute has helped launch over 15 companies in the region, and our efforts in Kuala Lumpur have also been profiled by several high profile media channels, including Next Up Asia, Tech In Asia, and e27.

If you could benefit from expert training and advice to launch a technology startup in Kuala Lumpur, click here to apply today.

Those who apply by the Early Admissions Deadline (Sep 17, 2023) will have their application fees waived (typically $50) and are eligible for Founder Institute Fellowships.

In the Founder Institute's four-month, part-time program, promising startup entrepreneurs "learn by doing" and launch a company through structured training courses and expert feedback from a large network of business mentors. Plus, you are not required to quit you day job to participate, so you can begin testing and developing your startup ideas without putting your livelihood at risk.

In order to celebrate the launch, the Kuala Lumpur Founder Institute will host a "Pre-Curriculum" of free startup events for the general public:
