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 (Sep 01, 2024) 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 14 years of operation, has helped launch over 7,000 companies across 200 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. Our unique Graduate Liquidity Pool also enables graduates and mentors to share in the equity upside of each class, creating strong teamwork-based startup ecosystems where great companies can flourish. We call it "Globalizing Silicon Valley."
