Founder's Find
The 8-Week Program That Puts You
Inside a Founder's Office
A live, cohort-based program for students and early-career professionals targeting Founder's Office, Strategy, and PM roles at high-growth startups.
About the Program
Not a Course. A Selection Process.
Most programs teach concepts. Founder's Find puts you inside real business situations and asks you to make decisions — the same decisions a Chief of Staff or Founder's Office hire faces in their first month on the job.
Every week you solve a real problem. Every week you are evaluated not on what you know, but on how you think. By the end of 8 weeks you have a portfolio of decisions, a placement-ready resume, and applications out to 100+ relevant roles.
This is not learning about startups. This is working inside one — before you have the job.
Simulation-Based
Every week you solve real Founder's Office problems. Not theory. Not MCQs. Real decisions with real stakes.
Expert-Led
6 live Sunday sessions with operators, CFOs, VCs, and PMs who have done the job at high-growth Indian startups.
Placement-Backed
Resume, proof-of-skill portfolio, 100+ applications, mock interviews. You leave job-ready.
Who This Is For
Three Profiles. One Clear Goal.
Students
Final or Pre-Final Year
You want your first role to be in a high-growth startup. You know what a Founder's Office is. You do not know how to get there. Founder's Find is the answer.
Early Career
0 to 2 Years of Experience
You are 1 or 2 years into a role that is not what you wanted. Founder's Find gives you the structured path to move into high-judgment, high-growth roles.
Job Seekers
Actively Targeting FO Roles
You are sending applications and not hearing back. You need proof of skill, not just a resume. Founder's Find builds that proof in 8 weeks.
The Curriculum
8 Weeks. 6 Dimensions.
One Clear Outcome.
All live sessions are held on Sunday afternoons, 2 hours each.
Sessions are not recorded — attendance is the only way to access the content.

Rishi P.
