Graduating from the Founder Institute has been a transformative experience for me and Eddievolt. 🚀 The program pushed us to refine our business model, solidify our team, and validate our market assumptions. One of the most memorable moments was when we received critical feedback that led to a major pivot in our go-to-market strategy—something that has positioned us better for success. The lessons on market validation, effective fundraising, and building a resilient startup culture were invaluable. 📈 The mentorship and support from the FI community have been instrumental in helping us secure early adopters and prepare for our commercial launch. A huge thank you to the amazing program directors Erdinç Ekinci 🙋♂️ and Yu Li Shein, mentors, and my fellow cohort members for their guidance and support throughout this journey. 🙏 If you're a founder looking to accelerate your startup's growth, I highly recommend the Founder Institute. The program challenges you to think deeply about your business and gives you the tools to succeed. #FounderInstitute #FounderInstituteJapan #Startups #Entrepreneurship #Innovation #Eddievolt #CleanTech #Sustainability
