About
The Founder Institute takes employees and potential founders and turns them into successful entrepreneurs. We do this through a 14-week long program, where three top CEOs come in once per week at night and present to Founders in the program about their experiences building a business. The Founders are given company-building work each week to create their businesses, and they are divided into groups of their peers, where the Founders share their best practices.
Vision
The Founder Institute believes in the potential of great people to change the world. Our next goal is to help create 1 million new jobs in technology by launching 50,000 technology businesses with 20% being worth over $50 million. The company is based on the following three beliefs: empowerment of people, the scientific study of success and the sharing of upside.
Founders
The Founder Institute has helped to launch approximately 3,500 companies worldwide, and we will double that number over the next 12 months. These companies have created in excess of 15,000 jobs and approximately $20 billion in shareholder value.

Crowd Technologies facilitates access to basic financial services for low-income, unbanked, underbanked population in remote areas using a low technology solution. Out of the 66 million unbanked adult population in Nigeria, an estimated 23 million people still save money at home. Our solution is offering a digitised version of the informal financial system which is not alien to customers. The company’s financial application will allow people in disconnected communities to save money in their various capacities, invest in businesses around them, and access micro-credit facilities while building their credit score. The founder was among the first set of people that invested in Farmcrowdy (now Crowdyvest). In 2017, he discovered that smallholder farmers were being mobilized to farm for Farmcrowdy in exchange for a token fee.The truth is that without economic inclusion, financial inclusion will still remain a mirage. The company’s idea is not just to build another financial application but also to build a platform that will create economic opportunities for people in disconnected communities.The Company is currently at the MVP stage.

I call it the ” Practical Masterclass for Serious Entrepreneurs”. Founder Institute was a major eye-opener for me. An experience I wish I had gone through two years earlier. The depth of real-life “no bullshit” and brutally honest cross-examination, coupled with experience sharing and feedback from the Mentors is just what the doctor ordered for a startup.

Nicknamed the US Navy Seal program for Startups, Founders Institute pushes you to the limits of your entrepreneurial prowess. Today’s class lessons are immediately applicable in your startup the next day. The pace is frantic, the curriculum gruelling but if you find yourself still standing at the end of the program, you would significantly increase the odds of your startup’s success.
