\"\"Founder Institute, \u00a0the world’s largest pre-seed startup accelerator, chose Sofia as its first office location outside the US. <\/span>The<\/span> Founder Institute (FI) already has <\/span>programs<\/span> in 180 cities across 65 countries worldwide and a network of local Programme Managers or Directors who take care for the execution of the acceleration sessions. Bulgaria also has its<\/span> team of FI mentors<\/span><\/a>, but the Sofia headquarters will be the first one that will actually recruit associates. <\/span><\/p>\n

The local team will be responsible for identifying new FI locations across Europe and supporting the development of the new chapters, thus helping <\/span>FI\u2019s expansion in Europe<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

More about the reason to choose Sofia please find in <\/span>the interview (in Bulgarian) with founder Adeo Ressi<\/span><\/a>, as well as in the article by move.bg on the occasion of the<\/span> official opening of the so-called Sofia HQ<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
