We created Founders in 2012 because we strongly believed there was a better way to build tech companies.

Growth
This simply means that all our activities are based in one company - Founders A/S - which has an infinite horizon - it is not meant to be dissolved at any time, and we will not operate via any other funds.
We work without fixed time frames with an objective to reinvest proceeds into new or existing businesses. We do not pursue exits for our portfolio companies unless they make strategic sense.
Founders is financed by three investors, which perfectly embody the traditional business building values we aspire to instil in our companies.
No, we build companies. We do have a fund though, which we use to invest in our companies to help them scale.
No. But we do specialise in taking companies from zero to traction.
No. But we do specialise in taking companies from zero to traction.
We build companies from scratch and scale them as independent companies when they gain traction. We also invest in them.
Perhaps! If we are excited about solving the same problem and share a vision on how to do it.
Usually from problems we have faced at work or in life, such as the pain of expense reports, finding a place to live in a new city or managing finances as a freelancer.
Part of our process in exploring new projects is to seek the advice of as many brilliant people as possible. Sometimes they fall in love with the mission and join us on it. Other times we simply put out job posts which you can find on the join us page.
