The FI Agentic Accelerator is 10 sessions plus Funding Day. Every founder in the cohort attends the same sessions; the work between them is set by your Playbook.
The sessions below are the sequence every cohort runs. Dates go up as soon as the next cohort is scheduled.
This is where it all begins. During Orientation, we will review the Founder Institute program structure, curriculum, tools, and requirements. You will review why you have pursued entrepreneurship, and how you or your team will use the program to push your business or business idea forward.
During Orientation, Founders and teams will be segmented into the “Standard Founder” or “Advanced Founder” assignment tracks, depending on the stage of their business or business idea.
These assignments are in addition to any custom "Special Assignments" Founders receive based on their specific challenges, and below is a small sample of the assignments you’ll complete through Working Groups and Office Hours:
Every Founder follows the Agentic Track, an AI-personalized curriculum that adapts each sprint to be more advanced or more basic based on your stage, with AI agents to help complete the work.
The below deliverables are in addition to any custom "Epic Sprints" you may receive based on your specific challenges, and are just high-level previews of the 10-15 deliverables you'll complete through Working Groups and Office Hours:
Customized to your startup's needs, more advanced or more basic, with AI agents to help you complete the work.
