Our Partners

We're backed by market-leading corporates across multiple sectors, offering investment and strategic support to Founders Factory portfolio companies. We also have a wider network of warm partners globally.

Our corporate advantage

Founders Factory's corporate investors include Deutsche Telekom, Aviva, L’Oreal, Guardian Media Group, easyJet, Reckitt, Johnson & Johnson Innovation DC, Nesta and Standard Bank.

Success Stories

Dr Kyle Grant and Tom de Wilton, Co-founders

"Founders Factory turned out to be a real leg-up for our business. We received mentorship from some of the best minds at Reckitt Benckiser (RB), and we're soon to launch a game-changing partnership with one of their household brands.

Not to mention how Founders Factory equipped us with the skills and know-how to scale our business into two new cities and hire our first team. "
