Founders Factory

Founders Factory is a venture studio and accelerator that builds new companies with entrepreneurs and invests in startups at idea, pre-seed and seed stages. It runs sector-focused accelerator programmes and venture funds across fintech, health, industrials and deep tech.

Its customers are early-stage founders who join its studio or accelerator programmes, and its corporate partners, which the company says provide portfolio startups with distribution, market intelligence and commercial partnerships. The company describes its income as coming from its investment and programme activity; the input does not specify a revenue model in detail.

Founders Factory was founded by Brent Hoberman, Henry Lane Fox and George Northcott, and lists London as its HQ, with locations in New York, Berlin, Milan, Singapore, British Columbia and Perth, plus a Bangkok studio referenced in job listings. The website reports 500+ startups and 60+ operators. Current openings include venture builders, venture designers, investors, and cofounder and engineering roles for studio ventures in London, Berlin, Bangkok and other locations.
