Leverage the Founders Factory family for life
Our team and 250+ portfolio are a well-connected family that founders can draw upon for experience and advice, or even as first customers.
You may be wondering…
We support growth-driven companies by bringing together capital, expert operational support, and the scale of our corporate partners, not to mention our wider network of international brands, investors and fellow founders.
Our 6-month Home & Hygiene Accelerator program is completely bespoke - the support you receive will depend on your startup's needs and growth objectives.
Find out more about startup accelerators and the difference between a startup accelerator versus an incubator.
We're looking for founders with a product in market and early traction, typically at pre-seed to seed-stage in funding. If you are at that stage and are ready to leverage our network and expert team, now's the right time.
The Founders Factory Team: We provide hands-on support across strategy, fundraising, ops, bizdev, product, design, tech, growth, PR, brand, and talent. Think of us as the senior team you couldn't afford to hire.
Our partners: You will unlock significant value from Reckitt. Depending on your company and its needs, support could range from distribution, pilots, commercial partnerships, product validation, investment and more.
Our network: You will have access to our global network of partners, investors and fellow founders for life.
If you join our Home & Hygiene accelerator, we'll build you a 6-month bespoke program, invest £30k in capital for 4%-7% equity, depending on your startup’s current valuation.
When it comes to product, we believe that short term development resource is unsustainable. We'll work with you on your architecture, will help you review code, and will coach your team to deliver a better product. All of which will give you learnings you can take with you after the program.
While formal meetings will pause, you'll continue to leverage our global alumni network and knowledge. The Founders Factory network extends across 100+ corporates, investors across different stages, geographies and sectors, and a strong community of fellow founders.
