After reading this article in TechCrunch about The Founder Institute, I am definitely going to applying to the Spring 2010 in Los Angeles. I am so excited that a mentoring program like this now exists in the LA area. I have talked about this problem before with Andrew Warner who says finding a tech co-founder is the hardest thing to do: most people get lucky and meet up in college or (in his case) his tech co-founder was his brother. Now I got to beef up my Linkedin profile and think about how to approach the application. Their FAQ says they are only accepting 40-50 applicants so it seems pretty selective. I hope I can stick out from the rest…more to come.
