OUR MISSION IS TO BUILD THE MOST ALIGNED VC FUND FOR FOUNDERS AT THE SEED STAGE.


AS WE'VE PURSUED THIS GOAL WE'VE BEEN FORTUNATE TO BACK HUNDREDS OF STARTUPS.

Meet the entire collective


HERE’S WHAT WE BELIEVE

1


FOUNDER COLLECTIVE IS A PARTNER FROM IDEA TO IPO



The partners at Founder Collective have all built and sold technology companies.
Our goal is to make Founder Collective the firm we wish had existed when we were
starting out. Venture capital is a dangerous commodity – we provide an
instruction manual.




2


GREAT STARTUPS PRACTICE EFFICIENT ENTREPRENEURSHIP



We believe entrepreneurs should try to raise as little money as possible to
accelerate their businesses, while preserving ownership. Startups don’t have to
raise billions to be worth billions—a point proven by The Trade Desk which
raised just $22.5M in VC before earning a billion dollar IPO.



3


THE FUTURE BELONGS TO THE WEIRD & WONDERFUL



Founder Collective is deliberately anti-thematic. We don’t have a thesis, but
when Embark showed us the future of doggy DNA, we couldn’t resist. Visionary
founders have shown us that the weird use cases of today can become the hot
themes of tomorrow.




4


ORGANIC VENTURE CAPITAL IS RARE – AND VALUABLE



We invest for the seed-stage which means when it comes time to raising the next
round we are fully-aligned with the founding team. We have structured the firm
to be as aligned with the entrepreneur's financial interests as possible – at
our short-term expense. We’re founders first, financiers second.




WE’RE OUR OWN BIGGEST INVESTORS

Our mission is to be the most aligned fund for founders at the seed stage.
Everyone on the investment team has started a company and understand the ups and
downs of entrepreneurship.
