The Founder Institute is the #1 place in the world to turn ideas into fundable startups, and startups into global businesses. Since 2009, our series of highly-structured accelerator programs have given founders the direction and global network needed to build a meaningful business. It all starts with our renowned ‘FI Core’ accelerator (https://fi.co/program), which pushes founders at the idea and pre-seed stages to reach the milestones needed for investment and sustained growth. Alumni of FI Core then get free access to our advanced ‘Founder Lab’ accelerators for years to come (https://fi.co/scale), and can get matched with prospective investors in the FI Venture Network (https://fi.co/investors), a collection of global funds actively investing in the earliest rounds of funding. The results speak for themselves: FI Alumni have raised over $1.9 billion in funding and are building meaningful businesses across 200+ cities and 6 continents.
