About the Company

ABOUT FOUNDERS FACTORY

Founders Factory is a venture studio and accelerator. We build technology companies from scratch, working with leading corporate partners to identify opportunities, develop new products and businesses, and build the founding teams that turn them into independent companies.

Unlike a traditional VC, we don't just invest in companies that already exist. We help create them. That means our approach to talent is different too. We believe the right founder can fundamentally change the trajectory of a company.

Working at Founders Factory is very different from working at a traditional company. We are resilient business builders, passionate about what we're creating and comfortable operating in uncertainty.
