Syed Muddassar Abbas – Founder & CEO Maalik.pk explains how Founder Institute helped him to scale.
Our methodology is not restricted to just providing theoretical knowledge but to create actual and life-like situations for participants to test the assumptions about their ideas. This program is unlike any learning experience because of its well-crafted strategic learning. It is designed to push founders to understand the nature of teal hardships they are going to face and prepare them to tackle them.
Hamza Iftikhar – Co-founder Dealmash how Founder Institute helped him in every regard.
Founders go through extremely advanced psychological and practical testing mechanisms devised by leading psychologists and field experts to find out if you have the entrepreneurial DNA in you or not. Founders delude themselves by being satisfied that the strengths they have are the only ones that matter. This program is designed to detect the weaknesses of individuals and cater them individually to eliminate those weaknesses.
Founders are often overly attached with their idea and think everything about it is perfect. This program is here to shun every optimistic misconception that founders have about their idea. This program pushes them to test every assumption they have about their idea by giving them multiple chances to test it practically. Exercises may include talking to a random stranger in market about your idea to analyse its worth etc.

One of the biggest flaws in Pakistani entrepreneurial ecosystem is the detachment from skilled industry experts and other successful entrepreneurs and investors.
This program provides an opportunity to connect with the leading personnel from industry and investment niches. Imagine a one-on-one interaction with a leading investor. Graduates have said that this program has helped founders connect with desired co-founders too.

Muhammad Mansoor – Founder of TouchD discusses how Founder Institute helped him.
The most heard complaint by founders is that could have avoided wasting all that time. Imagine the guided learning process where you engage with industry experts, investors, and founders all at once which would take many years if one tries on his own. You’ll get to learn that in just a period of 3.5 months
