We are always looking out for great programs that Canopy Community Founders can apply to, and there's a particularly awesome one with a call out right now.  Go to DengunFounders.com by October 22.

Have you always dreamt of creating something impactful? Maybe spent countless hours in a garage, trying to develop a prototype that could revolutionize agri-tech. But, like many budding entrepreneurs, faced a roadblock—figuring out the next step in scaling a start-up and getting real traction. 

Here's where Dengun Founders Program, an accelerator that promises not just investment but world-class mentorship to take your vision to the next level.

🚀 From Ideation to Realization
Starting a tech company can feel like navigating a labyrinth with no end in sight. That’s where the Dengun Founders Program steps in to light the way. This comprehensive six-week accelerator program is designed to validate and scale start-ups through expert mentorship, hands-on workshops, and invaluable networking opportunities. It’s not just a program; it’s a lifeline for innovators.

🌐 A Rich Network of Mentors
Imagine having a team of mentors who have collectively achieved over 30 successful exits. That’s the power of the Dengun Founders Program. It brings together some of the brightest minds in the industry. From Sabir Bhatia, the founder of Hotmail, to Sven Holof, one of the initial founders of IKEA, the mentors are real entrepreneurs who have been in the trenches and come out victorious. Their experience spans different countries and sectors, providing a mental blueprint for new founders.

💰 Securing the Future with Funding
Funding is often the lifeblood of any start-up, and the Dengun Founders Program recognizes this. They are targeting an impressive $300,000 in funding for each successful start-up. With two distinct tracks tailored for early-stage ideation and validation, the program aims to blend both to reach substantial investment outcomes. In collaboration with at least five different investment funds and a vast network of business angels, Dengun ensures that the participating start-ups are well-backed.

🌍 A Global Perspective with Local Benefits
One of the unique aspects of the Dengun Founders Program is that it’s not just restricted to a single locale. It provides free office space for three months in Portugal, encouraging start-ups to build their teams and gain traction in a conducive environment. Offering both online and in-person components, the program ensures that entrepreneurs from around the world can benefit.

✨ Why This Program Stands Out
“This program was built by a builder for builders,” says one of the leading voices behind Dengun Founders Program. The hands-on approach doesn’t just stop at mentorship and funding; the program also includes the development of crucial components like marketing strategies, apps, and landing pages to get start-ups investor-ready. The ambition doesn’t end at funding; the ultimate goal is helping young companies get the traction they need to succeed.

As the deadline for applications approaches, there is palpable excitement among Canopy members and the entrepreneurial community alike. The promise of rubbing shoulders with industry giants and benefiting from a well-rounded, enthusiastic team makes Dengun Founders Program a golden opportunity. For visionaries, it’s the chance to turn dreams into reality.
