At Founder University, we help early-stage founders build MVPs, raise money, and find their first customers. We are heading to Japan for our second cohort of Founder University. We kick off in July with an intensive week in Tokyo, followed by ten weeks of online sessions, and an Immersion Week for the top 10 companies in San Francisco in October. The program is for Japan-focused founders who want to build great products and meet global investors. We’ll accept up to 30 startups for Cohort 2. During kick-off week, we are also teaching a one-day Angel University workshop on global investing best practices, including cross-border deal flow and evaluating international founders. Angels will get to connect with the Founder University startups and other investors from the U.S. and abroad. Applications close June 7th.
