Founder Gym and Microsoft for Startups partner to help underrepresented founders build solutions for communities impacted by COVID-19
Founder Gym is the leading online program training underrepresented founders on how to build successful companies. The inaugural FG Cohort debuted in January 2018, and since then, 440 founders spanning 22 countries and 6 continents have graduated and gone on to raise over $50 million in startup capital.
Microsoft for Startups is a comprehensive global program designed to support startups as they build and scale their companies. The program is focused on helping your startup grow, with robust technology support and direct access to Microsoft’s customers and channel.
Founder Gym and Microsoft for Startups have partnered to help more underrepresented founders build solutions for the most vulnerable populations impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. For the remainder of 2020, Microsoft for Startups will award scholarships to select founders to participate in Founder Gym programming. The goal is to focus resources and training on underrepresented founders who are committed to ensuring the most under-resourced and over-looked populations get the help they need during this pandemic.
Frank Denbow, Startup Advocate at Microsoft for Startups, says “Underestimated founders often have the grit and determination to build great companies but just need the right knowledge to apply that passion in the right ways. We partnered with Founder Gym to support more of these underrepresented founders in their journey and help them achieve more, not only for themselves, but the communities they serve.”
