Founder Institute

As a Mentor at the Founder Institute, your role is pivotal in shaping the future of entrepreneurs. Your engagement in weekly training sessions not only shares your journey and insights but also transforms the entrepreneurial mindset, pushing Founders to innovate and excel. You have the flexibility to tailor your involvement to match your schedule and expertise, whether through presentations, feedback, or one-on-one office hours. Sharing your experiences and providing critical feedback helps Founders navigate challenges, encouraging them to learn from setbacks and strive for success. Your mentorship may extend into lasting relationships with Graduate companies, contributing to a supportive ecosystem for startups.

Approximately two-thirds of the way through each program, participating companies pledge 2.5% of their future equity in the form of a warrant. If the company experiences a liquidity event (such as an IPO or acquisition), a portion of the proceeds from that event are distributed back to those who contributed to the company's success, with the majority being reinvested into the local startup ecosystem to foster further growth.

Here's how the distribution breaks down:

0.5%: Mentors who provide guidance and support to founders during and after the program

1%: Founder Institute HQ, to ensure ongoing assistance for years to come

1%: Local Leaders who run the local program and help build the FI community

The Founder Institute offers diverse mentorship roles to suit different expertise and availability levels:

Presenting Mentor: Lead sessions on specific topics, sharing expertise to guide Founders.

Feedback Mentor: Provide constructive feedback during Hotseats and Q&A sessions, helping Founders refine their pitches and strategies.

Office Hour Mentor: Offer personalized mentorship through scheduled one-on-one or group consultations.
