Inside the Founder Institute: Real Stories From Alumni
The best thing you can do before starting a company is talk to someone who already did.
Most startup content is polished, abstract, and skips the hard parts. This event doesn't. Three Founder Institute alumni will share their real journeys, from early idea to funded company, including what the FI program actually looked like from the inside, what investors evaluated before there was a product, and what they would do differently.
One raised $13M in a Series A backed by Tiger Global. One is a Finnish engineer who spent a decade across live events and climate tech before building Envire, an AI platform helping venues eliminate 90%+ of manual emissions reporting across the global events industry.
This event is for:
Professionals with industry experience who are thinking about starting something but haven't made the move yet
First-time founders with an idea who want a real blueprint, not generic advice
Anyone seriously evaluating whether a structured founder program is the right next step
You'll leave with:
A clear picture of what the Founder Institute program looks like week by week
Specific frameworks investors use to evaluate early-stage ideas
The key decisions each founder made that changed the trajectory of their company
