Rethink what's possible in 2022: the world needs more entrepreneurs to help lead the way in creating that brighter future, for everyone. 

Startup community organizers and ecosystem leaders play a vital role in facilitating the creation of transformational new companies, and cultivating go-to-market opportunities for founders' breakthrough ideas. At Founder Institute, our accelerator program Local Leaders are the anchors for our global startup network, and have helped FI's 5000+ portfolio alumni worldwide to collectively raise over USD $1Billion in funding.

Founder Institute will be hosting several free online events over the coming weeks, where you can learn virtually about the Leading Institute and becoming an FI Local Leader, from the comfort of home:
