Founder program in Taiwan

We're excited to share that this isn't just a job ad; it's your chance to dive into a new kind of entrepreneurship.

Are you based in Taiwan, and:

• An employee, fresh graduate, or graduating student who is seriously considering becoming a founder but do not know how to start; or
• A founder who is looking for a hard reset (start from scratch and not simply “pivoting” > no on-going business, team and investor commitments) and wanting to do entrepreneurship differently from the typical Venture Capital (VC) way of building ventures; and
• Very open to learning new ways of long-term problem solving while managing high levels of uncertainty, complexity and the vagueness

Then we may invest and help you build your new business as you could be part of our growing Founder community.

We’re keeping it simple. Your first step is to complete our application quiz. This helps us get to know you, your ambitions, and whether IFD is the right fit for you.
