Operations Does Not Mean Sales with Weekly Quota

Anonymous employee

Pros

Robust ecosystem of 72+ countries, a CEO that has made some real exits, and has a solid network - around him personally.

Cons

Tough to call it an accelerator/incubator, as the new companies actually pay Founder Institute, rather than Founder Institute investing in the company per the typical model (e.g. YC, 500 Startups, etc.) Hired for Operations and to build process, had a $10k per week sales quota after 30 days. No guidance in terms of expectations other than literally this quote from CEO, "If you don't sell $10,000 in sponsorships by next Monday, we've got to let you go."
