About us
FounderSwap is a a collective of exceptional founders, dedicated to accelerating growth through collaboration. Our vision isn't to create a vast network of participants; instead, we prioritize top-quality engagement, ensuring each member receives personalized, high-caliber support.
Our approach involves selectively backing founders, leveraging an equity pooling strategy to foster deep, mutual cooperation between them. Surrounded by the best, our founders are propelled beyond their perceived limits.
FounderSwap is more than a platform; it’s a community where progress is openly shared, every founder is invested in the success of their peers, and the collective goal is a $100 million+ exit.

Our values
At FounderSwap, we are committed to reshaping the landscape of startup growth through transparency, learning, and reciprocity. Each value is tailored to enhance the collaborative experience among our founders, guiding them towards mutual success.
Transparency
We value candid transparency in sharing the real metrics of our startups. By reporting authentically and openly, we acknowledge areas for improvement and set the stage for meaningful progress. Transparency isn’t just about visibility; it's about setting a foundation for real growth and genuine reflection.
Learning
Growth starts with realization and thrives on exceptional feedback. We use fellow founders advice as a catalyst for change. Founders who are genuinely invested in your success offer the most valuable feedback we can get. Time is the greatest gift they offer. We honor it by make the most out of it.
Reciprocity
Giving benefits everyone involved. By offering feedback to peers, you sharpen your own leadership skills and decision-making and profit as a shareholder. Sharing effective strategies, making warm introductions, and dedicating our utmost efforts are the cornerstone of our approach to reciprocity.
