The third iteration of FoundersDoor in now underway! For those of you that are unaware of what FoundersDoor is, it is a six week pre-accelerator for early stage tech founders from underrepresented backgrounds in London. The programme is delivered by YSYS
We’ve ran two successful programmes in 2019 with each building upon the learnings of the previous, however, it is safe to safe that our current one has taken the most significant jump in the evolution of the programme by being the first to be delivered 100% virtually.
Part of the reasons for this shift are of course largely external (COVID-19), however elements of this were also planned far ahead of the pandemic. Read more here.
