Many leaders of the world’s fastest-growing startups have used our program to raise funding, get into seed-accelerators, generate traction, recruit a team, build a product, transition from employee to entrepreneur, and more. Below you can read their reviews of the Founder Institute program, and learn about their experiences.
"I’m a huge advocate of learning all that you can, but at the end of the day, the best form of learning is trying for yourself. The curriculum for FI was solid because it encouraged Founders to put themselves out there."
"After 3.5 months of FI, I was almost overwhelmed by how many new contacts I had in my startup/tech/innovation network. It really accelerates the early stages of your company with a network that broad."
"Climber Hotel is my third startup and I still needed a working plan that would prevent me from making the same mistakes from the past. FI is exactly that... it saved me months of unnecessary run-around."
"Founder Institute gave me the practical knowledge, skills, business sense, and the network I needed to grow Appota to where it is today. I strongly encourage other startups to join the Founder Institute."
"Every week they teach you useful things... and, you have to practice pitching every single time. Four months later, I had pitched at least one hundred times, got tons of feedback, and actually tested things with my customers."
"I got to see how a successful entrepreneur would run my project and in what order they would do things. The battle’s far from over, but I went from 0.1% knowledge about how to do things to 1.3%... that’s an awesome return on investment."
"I pivoted my original idea, I worked very hard on my pitch and trained, trained, trained...
If you want to launch a company and don’t know how, the Founder Institute is the right place to be!"
