The Founder Institute is an incubator program which makes you go through all the steps of building a company in 3 months. \u00a0The program is intense and should not be taken lightly. \u00a0First I would like to say, I learned in 3 months things that usually takes years to learn. \u00a0You are being put in situation faced by entrepreneur from finding a logo to meeting with lawyers\u00a0to incorporate your business. \u00a0All in a very short time period. \u00a0Every week there is a new challenge to tackle.<\/p>\n
Throughout the course of the program you are being forced to rethink, to challenge your idea. \u00a0As a matter of fact the goal is to try to kill it. \u00a0Every week people in the program are being picked randomly to be on the hot seat. \u00a0Mentors will give you feedback on your idea and areas they believe you should improve. \u00a0There is some valuable feedback from these sessions as the mentors give you real life experiences. \u00a0What I really liked about the program was meeting all these different entrepreneurs from various fields. \u00a0 We were all trying to make a difference by solving a simple problem. \u00a0I must admit entrepreneurship is not for everyone. \u00a0If you are a solo entrepreneur be aware that the course load may sometime be quite overwhelming. \u00a0Especially while you are working fulltime. \u00a0You will be asked to handle technical aspect of the company such as creating a landing page, \u00a0as well as conducting interviews for your project. \u00a0All very important topics to be addressed when building a meaningful and enduring company.<\/p>\n
I am glad to be among the few survivors, \u00a0out of the 400 who applied to join the program. \u00a0I am part of\u00a0the 12 graduates who made it to the end. \u00a0And this is only the beginning.<\/p>\n
