Open for working professionals & entrepreneurs who want learn about the common mistakes to avoid that most first-time founders make

Tired of chasing every new startup opportunity?

Not sure if you’re working on the right business idea?

Don’t have a roadmap to build and launch your startup?

It’s not just you. Our team spoke to 700+ aspiring entrepreneurs in the last 6 months and 90% faced at least one of these challenges.

The Indian startup scene is booming and everyone’s talking about the “startup gold rush” of 2024. But what about enabling first-time founders to find and solve real problems? Where’s the playbook to help them build sustainable startups?

The truth is, the “idea stage” is chaotic. Navigating the -1 to 0 journey of entrepreneurship where you have to find and develop conviction in a startup idea is the toughest phase for any first-time founder to navigate. Still, there are hardly any resources available.

Combined with the fact that if India wants to become a $5 Tn and eventually a $10 Tn economy, the startup ecosystem will have to play a major role. Empowering aspiring entrepreneurs and first-time founders is the essential pillar in achieving this goal.

This is why we conceptualised FounderX so that working professionals and entrepreneurs can master a structured way to build successful startups while gaining the skills, mindset and network every founder requires in their startup journey.

Announcing FounderX Cohort 3 🚀

After two successful editions, FounderX has ignited a revolution in the Indian startup ecosystem. This is why Inc42 is back with a bigger and bolder version of FounderX in the 3rd cohort.

The third cohort will commence on 27 June 2024.

In 12 weeks, fellows will master a structured approach to starting up, right from selecting a business idea to validating it to developing a solid foundation so they can finally pitch their ideas in front of investors at the Demo Day.

As we continue on our mission to accelerate the growth of the Indian startup ecosystem, we have made a few upgrades in the upcoming cohort:

Complete Freedom To Work On Your Own Startup Idea

We’ve removed the mandate of working in teams and fellows can opt out of team structure to individually work on their own ideas across the program.

Investor Demo Day

Top teams/individuals from the cohort will get an exclusive opportunity to pitch their ideas in front of investors at the Demo Day, hosted during the Convocation.

More Intensive Mentoring

We’re expanding the mentorship element of the program to include more startup leaders and tailoring the mentorship sessions to provide more personalised mentoring to fellows.

If you’re an ambitious individual who dreams of building a tech startup, FounderX is the perfect platform for you. Find more details and apply to the program today!
