Spend your first days meeting everyone and getting in the swing of things at Founders: make yourself at home.
Get chatting
to people at the snack stand, coffee machine and waiting to plate up in the lunch queue.
Settling in
we’ll make sure you get the chance to meet everyone at Founders HQ and our co-workers working remote.
Meet the Family
we share Founders HQ with our younger portfolio companies - get to know what problems they're solving and who you share an office with
Lunch
is served around 12 each day. We like to eat together in the lunchroom or out on the terrace looking out across the rooftops.

Take your time
settling in and ask anything you want. There are no silly questions and we were all new once.
We share each others’ ups and downs, give honest feedback (even if it’s painful) and celebrate each win as if it’s our own. There’s always a friendly ear, time for a cup of coffee or company for a strong gin if you ask for it.
Take part in our events
present something you built this week at Beer, Cheers, Peers, sign up to one of our regular community meetups or organise your own thing - the space is yours.
Join the conversation on Slack
‘Founders’ is where we talk just Founders stuff, ‘Founders Hill’ is for the global Founders family and everyone working at Founders HQ. We'll introduce you, say hi!
Connect with fellow designers, marketers and developers across the portfolio
Slack is your rolodex for connecting with your peers.
Talk to people from other teams
you work with some amazing human beings - say hello to new faces/avatars.
Startup life is stressful
we have regular 1-on-1 check-ins and try to look out for each other.
You have the space, freedom and resources to do your thing exactly how you want to do it. Here’s an idea of how we like to work at Founders.
Be thoughtful
when it comes to people's time.
Your hours are your own
so when you get your work done is up to you, but most people are at Founders HQ between the core hours of 10 and 4.
Remote working
means if you want to work from home, a cafe or South America for a while we’ll make it work.
Feeling unwell
or got an appointment? Just let your team know, stay home and get well soon.
Take care of yourself
want to go for a run to blow off steam, sleep late or get out of the office to clear your head? Do it.
Take care of each other
or "pas på hinanden" as the Danish phrase goes - because while it’s getting easier to start a company, it’s still insanely hard to make one succeed.
Kids
are always welcome at Founders and family always comes first.
We’re a social bunch. We love hosting dinners, breakfasts and talks. Our goal with events is to bring great entrepreneurs, investors, designers, developers and product people together to have interesting conversations, share best practice and get inspired.
We have a lovely space in meatpacking and we like to share it
We share our expertise, time and experience to help anyone at Founders to host their own events
A chance to dig into technology we’re excited about, meet new people and make us think
We also have a schedule of recurring remote online and mixed reality community events taking place for Founders folks
Lunch
Step away from your screens and spend some time talking to people in real life.
Family Breakfast
Where we dive into learnings from Founders co-founders and catch up over delicious food and hot coffee every few months.
Beers, Peers & Cheers
Show off what you’ve built, get feedback and connect with your company building peers
Friday bars
Sometimes themed, sometimes karaoke, always fun.
Our values are what make Founders what it is. We actively use them as a compass for decision making.
This is your space to make, do and play.
Want to work from the sofa? Go for it. Need to lock yourself away to focus for an hour or two? Do it.
There are meeting rooms that can be booked, small conference rooms, a meditation room and pretty much anything else you can think of.
Treat it nice, tidy up after yourself and have fun.
