Founders Network Fund

Founders Network Fund is a seed-stage venture capital firm that strategically invests in nascent technology startups. The firm leverages its deep affiliation with Founders Network, an exclusive global community of tech founders, to identify and back promising pre-seed and seed-stage companies. This approach provides a proprietary deal flow, allowing FN Fund to offer essential capital and support to ventures exhibiting significant growth potential, focusing primarily on the founders themselves.

The roots of FN Fund trace back to the establishment of Founders Network in 2011 by General Partner Kevin Holmes. Holmes, drawing on over two decades of experience supporting early-stage founders, developed a profound understanding of identifying high-potential entrepreneurs capable of scaling technology ventures. This insight into founder-led success, combined with the established peer mentorship network, laid the groundwork for the fund’s inception, further supported by the operational expertise of Head of Operations Tara Perillo, an alumna of Y Combinator.

FN Fund primarily serves pre-seed and seed-stage tech startups that emerge from the Founders Network ecosystem. The firm's vision centers on deploying capital into transformative companies, driven by the belief that early-stage investing is fundamentally about backing exceptional founders. By providing crucial early-stage financing and strategic guidance, FN Fund aims to cultivate a new generation of impactful technology businesses from within its established community.
