General
About
Founders, Inc. is a San Francisco firm with a 42,000 sq ft campus at Fort Mason, founded by Furqan Rydhan. It does not do decks or pitches. Applicants it likes are invited to build at its lab for a week or two, and the firm decides from that whether to invest. Its about page puts cheques at up to $250K and the equity ask at 4% to 7%. Founders who are not ready for a cheque yet are pointed at its programs instead, which run four to six weeks with a cohort. The same page says it mostly backs emerging tech and lists AI/ML, AR/VR and gaming, hardware, web3, dev tools and consumer, but tells founders outside those domains to get in touch anyway.
