Currículo

Barcelona Fall 2016

El Founder Institute ofrece un curriculum semanal de sesiones constructivas de empresas, diseñadas para ayudar a emprendedores a pensar y trabajar cada aspecto de su negocio, desde la idea inicial al modelo de facturación. Cada sesión está liderada por tres CEO / Mentores, quienes comparten sus opiniones únicas y muchas veces diferentes sobre un tema.

Most people that enter the program do not make it to Graduation, because the Founder Institute curriculum is very demanding. However, the select few that Graduate have achieved several years of progress on their startup in just a few months. We typically celebrate the Graduating class with a small event attended by family members, mentors, investors, and more. Afterwards, Graduates gain access to the Founder Institute network, tools, and ongoing resources… and the real work of building and growing an enduring company begins!
