The Founder Institute is the world's largest pre-seed startup accelerator. Since 2009, we have helped over 4,300 entrepreneurs get the focus and support needed to build a business that matters. Based in Silicon Valley and with chapters across 70 countries, the Founder Institute's mission is to empower communities of talented and motivated people to build impactful technology companies worldwide. Our society is experiencing the single largest global disruption since World War 2. Entire industries are being upended and consumer needs are changing on an almost daily basis. Now is the time to build our future, but only the entrepreneurs that can adapt and move quickly will be successful. We believe great companies start with great people, and the greatest variable in the success or failure of any company is its leadership. The Founder Institute’s scale and number of successful alumni is truly unprecedented. Our companies include some of the world's fastest growing startups, having raised over $950M, creating an estimated portfolio value of $20B.
