We are excited to announce that Flagstar Bankcorp has sponsored the Founders League for 2013. Flagstar's sponsorship of $5,000 will be put to good use as we build out our programming, spread the word about events, and outfit our coworking space to make it the BEST place in Rhode Island for startups.
The Founders League, created through a partnership between Betaspring, the Greater Providence Chamber of Commerce, University of Rhode Island and Brown University, offers community, space and programming where entrepreneurs at all stages of development can find inspiration and support. Since its launch, the Founders League has embarked on a series of entrepreneur-led programs and events, opened a coworking community for startups, and begun a process to develop a long-term, financially sustainable model for the platform's future.
