Renato Ignacio, Founder of Minubia (Curaçao)

It was absolutely amazing to participate in two Founderspace programs: First in Curaçao and then in Silicon Valley itself. We really appreciate the broad scope and high quality of the sessions. All very interesting and real eye-openers.

With the enthusiastic leadership of Captain Hoff and the excellent guidance of Naomi we were able to enjoy the program and get truly inspired. And then there was our mentor and sometimes drill-sergeant Steve Austin. Incredible how much we learned from him in a short amount of time. Showing us how to mold our message and bridge the cultural differences elevated our pitch to another level.

Also a big thanks to BrainCoral Labs for introducing us to Founderspace and connecting us to so many inspiring people in Sillicon Valley. Read More...

Warren Friesner, CEO of Language Hero (USA)

Founders Space is unique among all accelerator or incubator programs I’ve participated in because it creates an immersive environment for learning and forces Companies to really pay attention to their fundamentals in terms of business models and how they communicate who they are to others. It’s particularly good in how it helps us see things from the Investor and customer side, rather than from our own sometimes sheltered point of view.

Plenty of startups have great ideas and innovative products. That’s not nearly enough to succeed. Being able to recast a product as a cost-effective (no-brainer) solution for your customer’s pain point— in fact, as the solution they really need to have…that’s what Founders Space’s instructors do so well. Bringing a wealth of C-level personal experience combined with an intense dedication to the needs of their students, particularly international ones, who face their own unique cultural and communicative issues, Founders Space takes ordinary communicators with innovative products and helps them find their inner “visionary” focused on creating game-changing solutions for real world problems or offering consumers exciting new choices that improve the quality of all of our lives.
