OEN NewsAnnouncing a New Partnership with the Portland Founder Institute

We are excited to announce a new partnership with the Portland Founder Institute, with some special perks for our audience.

The Founder Institute is the world’s largest entrepreneur training and startup launch program, and just last week it announced in TechCrunch that it had surpassed 1,000 launched companies.

Through its four-month program, aspiring entrepreneurs can “learn by doing” and launch a company through structured training courses, practical business-building assignments, and expert feedback from a large network of business mentors. Plus, since sessions take place once a week at night, you don’t have to quit your day job to participate.

The Founder Institute recently launched in Portland, and it is offering our audience the following:

• Free access to the “Startup & Go” e-course, which features startup lessons from the Founder of Mint.com, the CEO of Evernote, and more ($99 value). Click here and use the code ‘OEN’ .
• Free applications to the Founder Institute training program ($50 value). Apply here.
• A special OEN Fellowship for the best applicant from our community, allowing you to participate in the program for free ($900 value).

In order to be eligible for the Fellowship, apply here by the Early Application Deadline on October 20, 2013.
