The Founder Institute is the world's largest entrepreneur training and startup launch program, helping aspiring founders across the globe build enduring technology companies. In the Founder Institute's four-month, part-time program, promising startup entrepreneurs "learn by doing" and launch a company through structured training courses, practical business-building assignments, and expert feedback from a large network of business mentors. Plus, aspiring founders are not required to quit their day job to participate, so they can begin building a business around their ideas without putting their livelihood at risk. Our goal is to "Globalize Silicon Valley" and build sustainable startup ecosystems that will create over 1 million startup jobs.

This is not about providing special treatment - the majority of applicants to the Founder Institute do not get accepted, and this will always be the case because we employ a quantitativePredictive Admissions Test in our application process. This test was specifically designed, and is constantly calibrated, to identify entrepreneurial personality traits and remove all forms of subjective bias. The program is simply designed to grow the number of female applicants, which will ultimately lead to more female-founded technology companies across the globe.

Any female who applies by the Early Admissions Deadline in their locale is automatically eligible for the Female Founder Fellowship. The Institute will then select the most extraordinary, qualified applicant for each chapter, and give them the opportunity to enroll in the program for free ($1000 value). The recipient of the Female Founder Fellowship will be recognized as a female with the utmost potential to become a successful technology entrepreneur, and they will be notified within one week after the Early Admissions Deadline.

• We have now graduated over 300 female-led companies across the globe, including notable ones likeCakeHealth, Zirtual, Fashioning Change, Realty Mogul, Skimble, Memetales, Ecobold, Kindara, Piggybackr,Wedding Party, Kindara, Writer.ly, and many more.
