I invest in 100 new startups a year... get a meeting with my team at launch.co/apply, or learn how to start a company by joining founder.university (our 12-week course). watch thisweekinstartups.com if you love startups
Friends,
As some of you know, I host a two-day workshop for founders called Founder.University.
We run it 4 times/year and it’s packed with candid pitch feedback from me and guest investors, tactical talks on growth and fundraising from industry experts, and networking with founders from all around the world.
This 2-day event has been so successful that we expanded it to a 12-week program.
We have already run two cohorts with ~300 founders. I’ve invested in 7 of those companies and plan to invest in hundreds more!
- This is for founders who have just started to build an MVP or want to learn how to turn their startup idea into reality
- It is an interactive course to help founders get started on their journey
The 12-week course has the following objectives:
- Build an MVP
- Identify your target customers and a business model
- Onboard the first users to your product
- Test and iterate!
- Explore next steps, from company formation to fundraising
- The course is fully remote with one mandatory, live session each week
- Cohort 3 is scheduled to begin July 11th
- There is a $700* cost
- *That cost will be reimbursed if you attend all weekly live sessions and build an MVP during the 12-weeks
- In other words, if you do the work - this program is also FREE
- Available to 200 founders
- Application: course.founder.university
Please share this information with any founders in your network.
All the best,

2yHi Jason, what if you're a bit past the MVP stage and have paying customers, but need all the other supports?

2yHaving gone through the first cohort, I can't recommend this enough! Not only did the Founder University team provide a solid structure for what actually matters, but I feel better equipped to grow my business. Also, I'm incredibly grateful to have been one of the founders who received investment!
