We expect to see around 10 companies graduating from a wide array of topics ranging from helping perfume enthusiasts find the perfect scent, a platform for configuring and ordering the perfect robot, to an easy-to-deploy ERP tailored for SMEs, and even a powerful solution for managing and growing your savings, and more!

This is the last chance to see the Spring 2026 cohort in its entirety and the first chance to see them as Founder Institute graduated companies!

The Founder Institute startup accelerator is an extremely challenging program, and graduating is a significant achievement. In fact, less than 40% of applicants are accepted to the program, and less than 30% of those generally make it through. Being a Founder Institute Graduate Company is a seal of approval, signifying that company's founders, mission, model, and plans are being validated by experienced startup CEOs.
