On August 28th, eleven new companies graduated from Founder Institute New York as the 17th cohort. The Founder Institute New York reviews are in and this was a great cohort to work with. The companies represented several industries including coworking, influencers, cancer, travel, events, fashion, e-sports and more.

As always, I want to thank the New York Mentors and the Founder Institute team for all their work and time put into helping the founders of FI NY 17. I want to also thank the founders of FI NY 17 for being so great throughout the semester. I am excited to drink out of the amazing mugs they kindly gave all the mentors. I am very excited to work with all of the founders as they continue to grow over the next several years.
