Founder Collective

Founder Collective is a seed-stage venture capital firm investing in early-stage technology companies worldwide. The firm is built by a collection of successful entrepreneurs and is headquartered in New York City. Their mission is to be the most aligned fund for founders at the seed stage, providing support from idea to IPO. The partners at Founder Collective have all built and sold technology companies, aiming to make the firm they wish had existed when they were starting out. They believe in efficient entrepreneurship, encouraging startups to raise as little money as possible to accelerate their businesses while preserving ownership. The firm is deliberately anti-thematic, investing in a wide range of sectors without rigid ownership targets. Notable portfolio companies include Airtable, Andela, Artsy, and Outreach. The team comprises experienced entrepreneurs and investors, including David Frankel, Eric Paley, Micah Rosenbloom, and Amanda Herson.
