An amazing opportunity to join a network of leaders of the world's fastest-growing companies, that have used our program to form and improve their business ideas, create an advisory board, recruit co-founders, improve their pitch, launch a product, raise capital, generate revenue, and more. The scale of our successful alumni is unmatched, unprecedented and is the foundation for the entrepreneurial ecosystem here in Cyprus.

Through a challenging and rigorous curriculum, we provide early-stage and aspiring entrepreneurs with the structure, training, mentor feedback, global network, and a lifetime of support needed to start an enduring company. In addition, the Founder Institute is the only program of its kind that accepts entrepreneurs with day jobs and shares equity with all participants.

The Founder Institute is awesome for founders who are new to the startup scene since the program takes you through the entire start-up process through learning by doing to incorporating a company with all the legal requirements covered that apply to your unique circumstances, avoiding rookie mistakes. If you are an overseas founder looking to incorporate in Cyprus, we can advise and guide you on all legal and migration requirements too. And if you are concerned that coming in with close to no knowledge of startup, the curriculum will engage and allow you to leave with a systematic and complete methodology of building a startup.

If there is any one reason to enroll today, it’s not just for its global network but for the content and methodology in the way the program is run. There is nothing like the Founder Institute in the ecosystem in Cyprus and unlike other misleading programs with flamboyant working environments, it’s the richness and value of the network itself which makes the Founder Institute the right choice for aspiring entrepreneurs to start their journey.

Being in this amazing community means being supported by people going through the same journey as you, who understand what you're going through and know how difficult it can get. And this is a very valuable and unique support network which should not be discounted.

So click here to enroll and win the chance of a Scholarship at the Founder Institute Chapter Cyprus!
