Founded in 2012 at Techstars Boston, Startup Institute has since expanded its programming to other cities in the U.S., as well as abroad, including New York, Chicago, Berlin, and London. The financing will help support them further expand its operations and train more people to find jobs in high-growth startups around the world. Startup Institute runs various programs to help support people in achieving their startup career goals. Their core program consists of an eight-week curriculum designed to develop the necessary soft and hard skills people will need to succeed in a startup environment. This full-time program offers four different tracks: 1) product and design, 2) sales and account management, 3) technical marketing, and 4) web development. The company also recently launched RampUp, a part-time option that introduces participants to various topics, with a focus on three different tracks: 1) web design, 2) technical marketing, and 3) Ruby development. If you apply now to their Fall 2014 core program, you can get 50 percent of the tuition, which is regularly between $4,750 and $5,250. In addition, Startup Institute has also announced a new scholarship program for 2015 that’s aimed specifically to support women and minorities – two groups that are largely underrepresented in the tech community – as well as military veterans. They are set to begin offering scholarships to full-time program applicants beginning in October. To take advantage of Startup Institute’s 50 percent tuition discount, you must apply to the Fall 2014 program by September 22. Apply now.
