Last night was the graduation for the 4th cohort of the Founder Institute Keystone Chapter Accelerator.

This was my 3rd cohort I was a part of as a mentor and the graduates are all top notch.

I’m lucky to have become an advisor to two of them Swiftlane.ai and Myna, Inc.

In addition to these two there were a bunch of other great startups that are going to go places. I’m so proud of all the founders for their hard work and dedication to getting through the tough cohort.

It’s not easy and can be demanding quite a bit. But the startups that made it through did it.

Way to go gang!

The next cohort starts September 10th! If you want to sign up use this link.

The Founder Institute

I’m so glad I chose to take Don Samoil up on being a mentor in the Founder Institute Keystone cohort accelerator program.

I’ve learned so much more about not only the startup ecosystem in Philadelphia and beyond, but I learned so much more about myself and how I can help others.

Over the past four cohorts, I know it’s hard to believe that I’ve done four so far, I’ve met so many amazing founders and mentors that I feel like I’ve gotten more out of it than others.

Out of the four cohorts I’m happy to say that I’ve become an advisor to two, Swiftlane.AI and Myna Insights, and an advisor and quite a bit for another, Public Assembly.

These founders, especially Pete from Public Assembly, have become more than just colleagues, but friends and confidants.

I’m excited to continue my journey mentoring with FI and will keep everyone updated.

Lots of interesting stuff coming out of #FounderInstitute this cohort.

I'm lucky to be mentoring a bunch of them and advising some when they graduate.

The startup ecosystem is strong in #Philly, angels and VCs need to get their heads out of their backsides and realize this.

It's incredible what Philly is producing.

Meet the Top Startup Mentors in Philadelphia: PSL x FI Accelerators

PSL x FI explores new ways to support more founders at all stages of growth, learn about their program's expansive global network, respected community of top mentors, established best practices, and ongoing investor-readiness support when founders are ready to pitch. In challenging capital environments, strong fundamentals are a core differentiator between high growth startups which survive and thrive, and those which unfortunately don't get to viability. One thing PSL and FI bonded over early in the partnership was the fact that there is so much success brewing in Philly!

The Founder Institute
Are there any Founder Institute mentors here in Mastodonia? Does anyone maintain a list of them? I've been a mentor at Founder Institute Nordics since 2020. #mentors #FounderInstitute #FounderInstituteNordics
