The platform supports success stories across both continents, including Veesion, Omi.so, Raidium, Waterdrop, Lydia, Alma, Memo Bank, Taster, and Neat in Europe, as well as Databricks, Pinterest, Perplexity, and Function Health in the United States.

Today, Founders Future’s strategy focuses on AI, Fintech, SAAS and Healthcare, with a strong focus on supporting globally ambitious and transformative entrepreneurs. As part of its international expansion, Founders Future is actively building its US presence in key innovation hubs.

  • Portfolio Support
  • Work closely with portfolio founders on strategic initiatives, fundraising preparation, go-to-market, and talent acquisition.
  • Ecosystem Development
  • Represent Founders Future at industry events, organize founder communities, and establish strategic partnerships with universities, corporates, and ecosystem partners.
