Orasi Media has officially unveiled “The Founder Games,” the world’s first unscripted startup accelerator show, created by entrepreneur and producer Sanja Mitrovska. Announced today at MIPCOM in Cannes, the groundbreaking format reimagines how startup stories are told — shifting the spotlight from investors to the founders themselves, and exploring what it truly takes to build a business from the ground up.
In a world obsessed with self-made billionaires, “The Founder Games” flips the narrative — putting founders, not investors, at the center of the story. This is the first unscripted startup accelerator where the founder becomes the hero. Each episode captures the unfiltered journey of ambitious entrepreneurs as they face real investors, brutal challenges, and the chaos of building a business from scratch. It’s not about boardrooms or perfect pitches; it’s about the raw pursuit of the modern dream — and the people daring enough to chase it.
Season 1 is already filmed, revealing the courage and breakthroughs of founders from 15 countries. Now, Orasi Media and creator Sanja Mitrovska invite partners ready to bring “The Founder Games” to new regions, platforms, and audiences worldwide.
Mitrovska celebrated startup culture: “We live in an era where the founder is the new rockstar. Startup culture is no longer niche — it’s mainstream. But behind every headline lies a story of grit, failure, and hope. That’s the story we’re telling," noted.
Finally, Asit Shah, CEO & Founder of Orasi Media Inc., praised the format: ‘This format is powerful because it’s real. It entertains, but it also educates and inspires the next generation of entrepreneurs. In a world that runs on money, few ever learn how to build something from nothing — and this show changes that", noted.
