Are you an aspiring Travel Startup? Think you can be the next Expedia? If so, be sure to check out Founder Institute’s Startup Accelerator Program. Fonder Institute is an idea stage accelerator program that helps founders turn ideas in to fully running businesses in 12 weeks. Over the course of the program, founders learn everything from startup legal, to user acquisition and of course how to pitch investors. Each week showcases different investors that Founders can pitch to and connect with.
Other benefits include:
- Quick idea validation – If you can’t survive Founder Institute, your idea probably won’t survive in the real world
- Great place to meet dozens of investors and startup industry professionals making it easy to “get in front of” investors
- Weekly milestones to keep you on track and build your company in a startup focused pace
- Shares in all the other founders/companies that are part of your program
If you’re interested and missed the early sign-up deadline, use this link to get access to the discount. Otherwise, go to FI.co to find a free info session near you. If you go to one of the info sessions, be sure to prepare a 60 second ‘pitch’ as you might have the opportunity to pitch investors there on the spot for some free feedback. A pitch should focus on Problem, Solutions and Why They Should Care (e.g. market size, traction, revenue, etc.).
Good luck!
