About us
San Antonio Startup Founder 101 is a community powered by the Founder Institute, the world’s largest pre-seed tech accelerator. This group is for aspiring and early-stage founders who want to go from idea to real business with support, structure, and a global network behind them.
We host events that focus on startup fundamentals, founder stories, and practical tools (not just theory). You’ll meet others building in public, learn what works (and what doesn’t), and discover how to plug into the FI San Antonio ecosystem.
Who should join?
First-time founders, solo builders, creatives, and anyone serious about starting something in San Antonio.
If you’re tired of building alone, this is where to start.
