About this program
The Founder Institute Adelaide cohort is a fully virtual core program designed to help founders turn ideas into fundable startups through a structured, proven process. Founders work alongside peers, receive guidance from a roster of mentors through video conferences, office hours, and material reviews, and follow business-building sprints. The program is intentionally demanding (less than 40% complete, as stated) and offers fast-track pathways to follow-on funding support such as Funding Lab and Virtual Demo Days (as stated).
