I Chose to Support Entrepreneurs with the Founder Institute

If you read this blog regularly, you know that I am a big fan of entrepreneurs. I believe that everyone should get a chance to pursue their ideas, even if they don’t live in the right place (Silicon Valley) or don’t have the right friends (VCs or rich angels).

If you are smart and have a great idea, you should be able to take it to its full potential.

Today it’s time to put my money where my mouth is. That’s why I decided to support the Founder Institute.

It was created by Adeo Ressi, the “Founding Member” of TheFunded.com. The Institute is for founders, by founders. To me, it makes a lot of sense that we should help each others. I can’t stress enough how many times a fellow entrepreneur gave me great advice or helped in more ways than one.

Apply to the Summer 2009 Bay Area program: it starts in less than a month and applications have been open already for a few days. The deadline: May 10th. but frankly, don’t wait!

PS: I am aware that this current program is restricted to the Bay Area, which doesn’t achieve all the goals I state at the beginning of this post. But Adeo is working on it…

FairSoftware is a community of entrepreneurs where you can find co-founders, form your first startup instantly and help each other by exchanging advice on how to start web and iPhone apps.
