After the successful first generation of startup teams, who put in a lot of effort to reach the very end of the Founder Institute Serbia program, applications for the next cohort are now open!

Founder Institute is the most significant and largest pre-seed accelerator in the world, with developed programs on 6 continents and in over 95 countries. The program is focused on providing support to startups and innovators in the early stages of development, and was created using best practices directly from Silicon Valley and inputs from hundreds of successful entrepreneurs around the world.

The program lasts a full 14 weeks, with maximum focus on the business idea validation, team and founders, Go-To-Market strategy, or growth strategy, as well as work on preparation for investments.

Founder Institute was also launched at the local level, in Serbia, in the fall of 2022, and the first generation of startups proved the potential of the local and regional entrepreneurial ecosystem and practically demonstrated the possibilities for the accelerated development of innovative, profitable, and sustainable business opportunities. The startup teams in this program were able to rely on the constant support of 100+ experienced mentors and investors, dynamic and intensive work with the aim of entering the market as quickly as possible, finding initial sources of funding, building a functional team, but also numerous benefits that are available to everyone who successfully complete the program.

If you want to see experiences from the first generation, follow the channels of the Founder Institute Serbia program: Facebook, LinkedIn and Instagram.

The call is now open for the second generation of teams who want to dedicate themselves to developing their business opportunities! Early applications are open until July 16, 2023, and all additional information, as well as the application form, can be found at the link: https://fi.co/serbia
