The program is open to existing and prospective technology founders of all kinds – with or without an idea, young or old, and with a full-time job or unemployed. Those who apply by the Early Application Deadline (April 21st) will have their application fees waived (typically $50) and are eligible for Founder Institute Fellowships

The Founder Institute is an early-stage startup accelerator and global launch network that, in just three years of operation, has helped launch over 750 companies across 40 cities and five continents. Through our part-time four month program, existing and prospective founders can launch their dream company with expert training, feedback, and support from experienced startup CEOs - while not being required to quit their day job. Our unique Graduate Liquidity Pool also enables graduates and mentors to share in the equity upside of each class, creating strong teamwork-based startup ecosystems where great companies can flourish. We call it "Globalizing Silicon Valley."

The Tel Aviv Chapter will take place on Monday or Tuesday evenings from May 12th to August 27th, and will be led by local leaders Yossi Dan and Alicia Roisman Ismach. During these four months, founders will learn how to evaluate their market, build a team, raise capital, and finally, launch a technology startup.

The program is open to existing and prospective technology founders of all kinds - with or without an idea, young or old, and with a full-time job or unemployed.

                                             We hope you will join us in Tel Aviv and launch a company in 2013.
