About this program
The Founder Institute Bhutan cohort is a fully virtual core accelerator program designed to help founders reach traction and become funding-ready using FI’s structured methodology and global support network. Founders build alongside a cohort in a sprint-based process, receive feedback through mentor office hours and reviews, and (as stated) can be fast-tracked to Funding Lab and Virtual Demo Days. The program is intentionally demanding, with less than 40% of founders typically completing it (as stated).
