Founders Embassy is the world's first embassy designed for international and immigrant entrepreneurs committed to making a positive impact on the world
Unlike typical accelerators and incubators, we focus specifically on global founders, offering them unprecedented access to Silicon Valley through immersive acceleration programs and impactful events, co-working opportunities, and thought leadership - all without any exchange of equity.
Founders Embassy is designed to be a "home away from home" for global entrepreneurs whether they are visiting founders from another country or immigrant founders living in the U.S.
