The Founder Institute is announcing a big expansion today, with new Spring 2010 Semesters in Singapore, Paris, Los Angeles and Denver. The deadline for early admissions is February 15th, with all applications due by February 28th, 2010. 

The Institute is run by founders for founders, providing a framework for successful entrepreneurs to share their experiences and to help. We've already lined up an impressive group of mentors for the Spring semesters, including Nolan Bushnell (Founder of Atari),  Michael Robertson (Former CEO of MP3.com),  Aaron Patzer (Founder and CEO of Mint.com), Phil Libin (CEO of Evernote), and many more.

If you can benefit from training and mentorship to make your startup more successful, please apply. If you know a founder that needs help, encourage them to join the program.

We will be announcing a series of conference calls shortly, where prospective applicants can learn more about the program and have their questions answered. In addition, you can watch the video below about the Founder Institute, featuring the Institute's Founder, Adeo Ressi.
