The Founder Institute, the world's largest startup accelerator, is now accepting applications for the Washington DC Autumn 2013 Semester. Since launching in the DC in 2010, the Founder Institute has helped launch over 50 companies in the region, and we are excited to launch many more.

If you could benefit from expert training and advice to launch a technology startup in Washington DC, click here to apply today.

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 (October 20) 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 1000 companies across 50 cities and six 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. 

If you would like to learn more, then join a free event we will be hosting in the coming weeks:


The Washington DC program will take place on Tuesday evenings from November 18 to March 4, and will be led by local leaders Cynthia Traeger (CEO of Pacific Siren International), and Dede Haskins (Former CEO & President of NewVision Health). During these four months, founders will "learn by doing" and launch a company through structured training courses, practical business-building assignments, and expert feedback from a large network of business mentors. Click here to see the full curriculum and start your journey with us today.

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 Washington DC and launch a company in 2013.
