Meet the 20 inspiring young founders moving on to the next phase of the Future Founders Startup Bootcamp!
Startup Bootcamp is Future Founders’ innovative startup launch program that provides the top idea-stage founders in the nation with the skills, tools, mentorship, and network they need to get their businesses off the ground.
The program kicked off in March with a series of virtual programs that gave founders an opportunity to network with peers, connect with entrepreneurial thought leaders, and build skills through leadership development workshops and monthly peer-to-peer sessions. Their work in Phase One culminated with the Startup Bootcamp Pitch Day, where founders pitched their businesses to a panel of entrepreneurs, investors, and business leaders from across the country.
Of this impressive group of 51 young entrepreneurs, 20 were invited to participate in Phase Two of Startup Bootcamp. These founders have shown particular dedication to the program and the community, and have demonstrated measurable progress toward validation or increased sales since beginning Phase One. In Phase Two, founders benefit from more personalized, hands-on support and mentorship in growing their businesses.
“These 20 talented entrepreneurs have worked tirelessly to build their businesses throughout Phase One of Startup Bootcamp,” said Scott Issen, President & CEO, Future Founders. “Each of these innovative companies epitomizes the visionary, intentional entrepreneurship we hope to foster at Future Founders, and we’re excited to continue supporting these founders in this next stage of their journey.”
The members of this year’s Phase Two cohort bring a breadth of experience to the Future Founders community. Whether they’re leveraging cutting-edge AI and machine learning technologies or helping you grow better produce and find the perfect career, each of these companies is committed to leaving the world better than they found it.
During the second phase of Startup Bootcamp, founders will enjoy a plethora of speaker and workshop opportunities, as well as one-to-one mentorship and access to our annual in-person FounderCon retreat in November.
