Learn about some of the companies that will go onto seed-accelerators, raise funding, and build the next great Cologne startups. There will also be an opportunity to network with other entrepreneurs and celebrate the new Graduates.
 
On January 29th, 2025, we will gather graduates, mentors, investors, friends and future founders to celebrate the newest Graduates of the Fall chapter of the Founder Institute Berlin / Germany. In addition to the Graduation Ceremony, guests will be treated to short business pitches from the graduates.

In person Location in Kreuzberg: purchase ticket here.

We expect to see around 11 companies graduating from a wide array of topics ranging from regaining your sense of smell, a great solution to keep your balcony green all the way to a solution for homeless people! This is the last chance to see the Fall 2024 cohort in its entirety and the first chance to see them as Founder Institute graduated companies!

But that is not all, we will feature serial founder and long standing Founder Institute supporter Christian Rebernik as our keynote speaker!

The Founder Institute startup accelerator is an extremely challenging program, and graduating is a significant achievement. In fact, less than 40% of applicants are accepted to the program, and less than 30% of those generally make it through. Being a Founder Institute Graduate Company is a seal of approval, signifying that company's founders, mission, model, and plans are being validated by experienced startup CEOs.

Who Should Attend?

Angel investors, early-stage venture capital firms, Founder Institute Mentors, Graduates, friends and family are all invited to attend. You are welcome to share this link with interested friends and colleagues. As we will announce opening of our next batch bound to start in March, entrepreneurs interested in founding a new company are also very welcome!
