"The Founders Factory accelerator helped us launch our product in the market, and provided outstanding support with performance and lifecycle marketing. The team also helped us develop our investor story and made some important introductions to angels and funds. The approach of Founders Factory is bespoke to each startup, and we highly recommend the experience to Founders looking to make an impact. "
