Joining Founders Space was a great experience both personally and for business. During the two weeks intensive program, we are not just learning how to polish the PPT but really changing our perspective of our business.

All the mentors and instructors share valuable advices and experiences according to their expertise. It’s helping us to address the U.S. and global market.

Especially, by “coaching with passion”, Steve Austin showed us what B2B business in the real world is like. He constantly reminded everybody how important the user engagement is and how you can solve customer’s problem. It’s hard to present the whole value behind advanced biotech like ours in a short pitch. However, after receiving feedback during Founders Space program, we can present more accurate and engaging propositions to investors. Read More...

The Founders Space program was extremely valuable.

Instructors/mentors were great; the training was worthwhile; the energy of the FS team was very high; and the exposure to angel investors was productive.

Kudos to Captain Hoff, Naomi, and Steve Austin.

I am a very lucky man who could participate in the intensive Founders Space’s program @ San Francisco twice.

My big mentors, Captain Hoff and Sergeant Austin, again changed me a lot in the two weeks and made my pitching more attractive and convincing.

Their mentoring with sincere attitude and professionalism based on perfect understanding of ROBORUS’ tech and biz, really propelled me toward investors with great confidence and enthusiasm. Read More...

I’ve been involved with 21 startups either as Founder, Co-Founder, CEO, Director, angel, or venture investor; in many of those 21, I filled several roles. And with my 21st startup, I attended Founders Space.

My attraction to Founders Space was the non-nonsense approach. This is not about spending months in a flexible environment hoping you adsorb some skills. It is an intense process preparing you for the real world of not only getting your investor pitch right, but being able to think different about your business, its application, and you as an entrepreneur.

Getting a meeting with an investor is hard. For most, getting the second meeting is impossible. Founders Space prepares you for the second meeting and beyond. Read More...

Being a part of Founders Space program was a great opportunity for us to have new perspectives on business operations with tremendous energy. I would highly recommend joining the program in the early stage of your business so that the CEO and the founders can maximize the benefits of the program by immediately applying knowledge and know-hows from the experienced mentors with various professional backgrounds. It is the best to encapsulate the essence of start-up business in such a short time!
