Founder Institute

The Founder Institute is the world’s largest entrepreneur training and startup launch program, helping aspiring founders across the globe build enduring technology companies.

In the Founder Institute's four-month, part-time program, promising startup entrepreneurs “learn by doing” and launch a company through structured training courses, practical business-building assignments, and expert feedback from a large network of business mentors. Plus, aspiring founders are not required to quit their day job to participate, so they can begin building a business around their ideas without putting their livelihood at risk.

In only 4.5 years of operation, the Founder Institute has helped launch over 1,017 companies across 55 cities and six continents. Our goal is to “Globalize Silicon Valley” and build sustainable startup ecosystems that will create one million new startup jobs.
