Request a proposalWhy it works
Since May 2025, Korean founders have paid their own money to join Founder Sprint. The program was built to survive that test: every week ends in something a founder can show, not a certificate of attendance. When you run it for your cohort, you get the same curriculum, the same mentors and the same standard. Public programs already run on it: Seoul Bio Hub’s global acceleration program, run by DHP, chose Outsome for its Silicon Valley bootcamp in 2025 and again in 2026.
