Who we are

FounderPartners 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.

Funding Requirements

We invest in global technical founders. We target capital-efficient businesses in software, digital media, APIs, and blockchain. Our center of gravity is in Silicon Valley but our team is global and we partner with companies from all over the world.

Value add

FounderPartners works with technical founders as minority co-founders, providing hands-on operational support to help companies scale faster and reach profitability.
