The FI Venture Network (Beta) is an exclusive network of investors actively funding pre-seed and seed-stage startups before anyone else.
With a focus on investors actively participating in a startup's first or second round of funding, FIVN includes angels, accelerators, and pre-seed/ seed stage investors across multiple sectors and continents.
Tomorrow's Fastest Growing Startups
Since 2009, the Founder Institute has built world-leading methodologies, systems, and communities to both source and accelerate promising entrepreneurs at the earliest stages.
We operate across 200+ cities worldwide, with 6,800+ alumni that have raised over $1.75BN in funding from the world’s leading investors.
It all starts with our 'FI Core' accelerator, which pushes founders at the idea and pre-seed stages to reach milestones needed for investment and sustained growth.
When they are ready, Alumni of 'FI Core' get free access to our advanced 'Founder Lab' accelerators and work closely with our Silicon Valley team.
Fast-growing Alumni can get matched to investors in their sector and locale, while investors can opt into company introductions before anyone else.
