About Founders, Inc.

Founders, Inc. is a San Francisco-based venture capital firm and startup studio founded in 2020 that operates as a hybrid between a traditional VC fund, incubator, and long-term builder hub by providing first-check funding alongside a 42,000-square-foot physical campus at Fort Mason. The firm targets early-stage founders in emerging technology sectors including artificial intelligence, AR/VR, hardware, Web3, robotics, and autonomous machines, with a geographic focus on San Francisco and the broader US. Typical initial investments range from $100,000 to $250,000 for 4–7% equity, and the firm positions itself as a first-check provider that pairs capital with workspace and hands-on support rather than acting solely as a follow-on investor. While the search results confirm the firm has deployed capital across over 100 portfolio companies, they do not list specific named portfolio companies or exits to cite as notable examples. Founders, Inc. distinguishes itself from traditional accelerators by emphasizing long-term physical community and daily resources over time-bound programs, operating on the belief that founders need more than just money to build bold ideas
