Our Story

Built by Founders,
for Founders

We started Founderr because we lived the problem. As solo founders shipping vibe-coded apps, we needed a place to launch, get feedback, find investors, and connect with co-founders — all in one place. That place didn't exist. So we built it.

Our Mission

Democratize the Startup Ecosystem

The startup world has always been gated. Access to investors requires warm intros. App distribution requires marketing budgets. Co-founder matching requires being in the right city. Security audits require expensive consultants.

We're tearing down those gates. Founderr gives every founder — whether you're in San Francisco or Rawalpindi — the same tools, the same access, and the same shot at building something great.

What We Believe

Our Values

Ship Fast, Iterate Faster

We believe in velocity. Ship an MVP in days, not months. Get real feedback from real users, then iterate relentlessly. Perfection is the enemy of progress.

Open by Default

Transparency builds trust. We share our metrics, our roadmap, and our thinking. We build in public because we believe the best companies have nothing to hide.

Founders First

Every feature we build starts with one question: does this help a founder move faster? We're building for the solo founder at 2am who needs the right tool, not another dashboard.

Security is Non-Negotiable

Vibe-coded apps deserve enterprise-grade protection. We scan every listed app, verify every investor, and protect every transaction. Trust is earned through action.

Global from Day One

Great founders exist everywhere. We're building for the developer in Lagos, the designer in Lisbon, and the hustler in Rawalpindi. Geography shouldn't limit ambition.

AI as Copilot, Not Replacement

AI should amplify human creativity, not replace it. Our tools augment founders — generating drafts, scanning code, surfacing insights — while keeping humans in the driver's seat.

The People

Meet the Team
