Congratulations to the entire FI team on this significant milestone. We saw the value of your network support for growing these global companies. You inspired us to launch our fund Loyal VC over a year ago and now we have invested in 59 FI companies across 20 countries. We appreciate being partners in your continued journey to make the world a better place.

Awesome news for the world to have these stats!.... On a side note... I sent an email/message to Jonathan / Founder Institute in an effort to obtain input for a particular initiative. Haven't heard back. I graduated from cohort 1 in Toronto. I feel a sense of neglect to be honest. At the moment, respectfully speaking not worth the 3.5% equity they tool from my company.

FI uses same tactics as many MLMs. They encourage “mentors” to hit certain quotas to maintain their “status”

@tpae please explain your comment - it's slanderous but doesn't go into enough detail to be a meaningful warning.

I'm a big fan of Founder Institute as a 2014 graduate (2 year hiatus for family reasons & a big pivot is why Touchgram only just launched this year, no reflection on FI). Some of their stats are a little questionable due to self-reporting. I'm fairly certain at least two of the alumni listed as active from my cohort in Perth, Western Australia, have long-since given up but not bothered to adjust their status. As a developer with decades of experience, much on retail software products, I still gained a lot out of FI particularly on the planning, marketing and customer outreach areas. I also got to be a familiar face to many of the mentors and folks in the startup scene here who I'd probably not have reached otherwise.
