Founders Factory

Founders Factory is a venture studio and startup accelerator that builds and funds companies alongside entrepreneurs and corporate partners. Its work spans four sector verticals - fintech, health, industrials and deep tech - with technical work supported by more than 60 expert operators. The firm was founded by serial entrepreneurs Brent Hoberman, Henry Lane Fox and George Northcott.

The organisation runs three main activities. A venture studio partners with entrepreneurs from day one to develop new ideas, technologies and business models into high-growth companies. Sector-focused accelerator programmes combine capital investment with dedicated operational support for early-stage founders. Venture funds back portfolio companies alongside corporate partners, who also contribute credibility, distribution, market intelligence and commercial opportunities.

Founders Factory has built a portfolio of over 450 companies, which have gone on to raise significant follow-on funding. It operates from a London headquarters with a presence in New York, Berlin, Milan, Singapore, British Columbia, Perth and Grand Bahama.

Stated operating principles include acting small while thinking big, moving fast, valuing momentum over perfection, and embracing uncertainty while remaining decisive. The stated ambition is to be the most impactful co-founder for entrepreneurs, combining capital with hands-on operational support.
