The Founder Institute is venturing onto new horizons, launching its very first venture fund

The Founder Institute, hailed as the world’s largest pre-seed startup accelerator, is setting its sights on literally taking ‘venture’ a notch higher. Recognised for the role it plays in shaping the startup ecosystems worldwide, it’s not satisfied resting on its laurels, and instead is seeking to raise its first venture fund.

For more than a decade, The Founder Institute has aided aspiring entrepreneurs, providing vital resources, mentorship, and connections. Now, it dreams to officially become a financial raconteur and step into the venture financing world, thereby creating an opportunity for itself to deepen its roots further into the startup ecosystem.

This strategic move marks a significant milestone for the institute. It visualises an ambitious future where not only does it stimulate startups by providing platforms and tools, but also harnesses the fruits of this entire metamorphosis by financing these startups itself.
