Is this a real MBA degree or just a certificate?
+
It's a real, accredited MBA degree — awarded by Woolf University, which is licensed and accredited in the EU under the Malta Further and Higher Education Authority (MFHEA). The degree is placed at EQF Level 7, the same academic level as masters degrees from Oxford or INSEAD. You receive a physical and digital certificate, and your transcript is listed on the EU EUROPASS — recognised in 60+ countries.
Who is this program for?
+
The Founder MBA is for people who want to build a real company — not just learn about startups. It's designed for aspiring founders, early-stage entrepreneurs, career switchers, and professionals who want to build something on the side. If you want to sit in lectures and write essays, this is the wrong program. If you want to build, ship, and grow a real business with support — this is for you.
How much time does it require per week?
+
Plan for 10–15 hours per week. This includes Sunday Labs (3–4 hours live), self-paced module work, mentor sessions, and time spent on your actual startup deliverables. The program is designed for people who have jobs, side projects, or businesses — not just full-time students. Most of our students are working while they build.
Do I need a business idea to apply?
+
No — but you need a desire to build one. Sprint 1 is entirely about finding and validating a problem worth solving. Many of our best founders came in with nothing more than a vague interest in a space, and left with a live product and paying customers. That said, if you already have an idea or early traction, we accelerate that too.
What is the difference between the PGP and MBA tracks?
+
The PGP (Post Graduate Program) is the 6-month founder track — you get all the curriculum, mentors, LaunchLabs, and immersions, but without the formal MBA degree. It's the faster, lower-cost entry point. The MBA track is 12 months and includes the Woolf University EU-accredited degree on top of everything in the PGP. Both tracks get you the same cohort, network, and execution support.
Are the global immersions mandatory?
+
Singapore and Mumbai are included in the MBA pricing and strongly encouraged — they're where Demo Day and key investor connects happen. San Francisco, Dubai, Shanghai, and Bali are optional add-ons. You can do all 6 or just the two included ones. Each immersion is 1 week and designed around a specific theme: investor connects, AI ecosystem, manufacturing, leadership, and more.
What happens if I don't have a startup at the end?
+
You still walk away with a real MBA degree, a verified portfolio of deliverables, deep founder skills, and a network of 80+ mentors and fellow cohort members — which is more than most traditional MBA graduates can say. That said, the program is structured so that graduating without at least a live MVP and some early traction would be a deliberate choice to not do the work.
Can I get a refund if it's not right for me?
+
Yes — we offer a 14-day refund window from your first Sunday Lab. If after two weeks you feel the program isn't the right fit, we'll issue a full refund, no questions asked. After that window, fees are non-refundable but can be deferred to the next cohort in cases of genuine hardship.
