The first ever Puerto Rico Founder Institute is proud to announce the graduation of its first class of startup founders. The Puerto Rico graduates were recently featured in the local publication El Nuevo Dia in a piece entitled “Startups boricuas inician una nueva era empresarial”. The article highlights the novelty of the emerging startup industry in Puerto Rico, and although a technology scene has been in existence for some time, the recent ‘boom’ of entrepreneurs is gaining national attention.
Much of the recent influx is largely attributed to rising popularity of social media as well as acceleration programs such as the Founder Institute. The two together have shown to be hugely successful, as tech gurus in the area are able to connect via social media and come together to form groups, forums, and meetups surrounding their interests. Add top notch mentorship into the mix and you have yourself a promising generation of startup founders who are determined to take their idea to the next level both in the local and international market.
The Founder Institute is currently accepting applications across multiple cities worldwide. If you or someone you know could benefit from expert training and feedback to launch a technology startup in then click here to see our list of enrolling cities and apply today.
