The Founder Institute South Africa is now accepting applications for the 2022 cohort
Founder Institute, a pre-seed accelerator, has opened applications for its South Africa program, which is looking for ambitious entrepreneurs to help build a sustainable future through technology.
The Founder Institute, founded in 2009 by Adeo Ressi and Jonathan Greechan and based in Palo Alto, California, connects startups with experts who share equity in their success, and its business-building process has so far helped alumni raise over US$950 million.
The Founder Institute is now accepting applications for the upcoming South Africa March 2022 programme, with the goal of identifying high-potential founders through a series of aptitude and personality tests.
Founder Institute has committed to supporting the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals through this program and is looking for founders or teams in the early stages of business that are leveraging technology and have the potential to scale globally.
Selected founders will have the opportunity to receive mentorship from South African and international mentors, investors, alumni, and entrepreneurs, as well as make progress on their business by following a proven, structured process to gain traction and funding.
They can also be fast-tracked into a suite of post-programmes, including Funding Lab, and broaden their support network to include startup founders, CEOs, and investors from the Founder Institute’s global network of over 5,000 alumni and over 20,000.
Applications will be accepted until February 28, 2022.
