The Founder Institute, the world's largest pre-seed accelerator, will launch its first Sustainability Accelerator, in parallel to the regular program through the Sydney chapter in 2020. This launch aims to inspire and enable Founders to tackle important issues facing our current and future generations, especially as linked to the UN Sustainability Goals.

The Founder Institute believes in the potential of great people to change the world. Australia is positioned to become a Global Leader in Sustainability Innovation. We'd like to partner with market leaders to inspire Australians
to create high-growth startups focused on at least one of the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

If you represent a business, non-profit organisation or group who are also passionate about advancing Sustainability Innovation by supporting early stage startups. Please come and join us on 9th June in this launch event. We'd love to hear from you.

About Founder Institute

The Founder Institute takes individuals 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.

The combination of mentorship, structure and peer support all lead to very good outcomes. 85% of all 2,500 Graduates are operating, 70% of the Graduates are doing well and 50% are funded. The Founder Institute operates in over 185 cities, and we create an excess of 1,500 new companies per year. We have multiple Graduates with valuations in excess of $1 billion, and our companies have created an excess of 15,000 jobs worldwide.
