Dear BMG Hub

As of May 21st we plan to bring the successful Founder Institute Curriculum to Switzerland. After being able to sell 130 tickets for our bootcamp in less than 9 days, we have now opened application for the actual FI Curriculum (www.fi.co/apply/81). 

We are happy to announce as well that Alex Osterwalder has accepted to become one of the SwissFI mentors and will give at least one of the semester courses.

If there is sufficient demand, the 15 week Curriculum will start on May 20th and will always take place on a Thursday evening from 18:15 to 22:00 at PwC in Central Station Bern (i.e. 5' from the platform). As such the program is a perfect fit those who are working during the day and would like to invest time in the evening to develop their vision.

The quality and success of the program is because of the serial entrepreneurs we have been able to recruit already (Alexander Mazzara | Joiz, Alexander Osterwalder| Business Model Generation, Dorian Selz | Memonic, Laurent Haug | Lift Conference, etc.) and those we expect to bring from abroad (Silicon Valley, Boston, New York, Berlin, Amsterdam, Paris, London etc.)

We would like to ask you to recommend FI to friends who might have an idea for a Startup and or want to explore the entrepreneurial route. 

Many thanks in advance for spreading the word!

Cheers,

What is the Founder Institute?

The Founder Institute is a global network of startups and mentors that helps entrepreneurs launch meaningful and enduring technology companies. Through our four month idea-stage incubator program, you can launch your dream company with expert training, feedback, and support from experienced startup CEOs, while not being required to quit your day job. Our unique Bonus Pool also shares equity upside with all participants, creating local, teamwork-based ecosystems where great startups can flourish.

In two years of operation, the Founder Institute has already helped launch over 490 technology companies in over 22 cities worldwide. That makes us the World's Largest Idea-Stage Incubator.
