ATTENTION FOUNDERS:
You’re wrong and that’s OK.
It’s time to prioritize learning over being right.

This program is for you if:
- You’ve applied to an accelerator or incubator, but havenot been accepted.

The Founder Workshop is an invite-only event. However, motivated founders can earn their way to a spot. The first way is to get a referral from one of our community scouts. These are active community members who work with founders on a daily basis.
The second way is to earn it on your own.
All you need to do is attend, and check into, 3 startup or tech events. These can be event that you currently attend, or you can pick a new event from the following websites:
Once you’re at the event, take a picture then and use it in a tweet that includes @sdcdiorg and #StartupSD.
Finally, DM @sdcdiorg on Twitter when you’ve attended the events.
Once that’s complete we’ll send you a registration code.
