Overview

Who we areFounderPartners is not a VC -- we invest our own money which better aligns ourselves with fellow founders. We're not an accelerator that teaches you how to raise money -- we teach you how to build a business.

We're successful serial entrepreneurs who partner with, invest in, and help technical founders build and exit their companies. We have a stellar track record -- an 85% success rate (25 companies, 13 exits, only 4 failures). Most of our companies are scrappy bootstrapped companies or "Mustangs" that exit in the $25-100m range. We have had some nice unicorn exits like Roblox in which we were the first money invested.
