From Proven Traction to Scalable Growth
Funding, Expertise, and a Clear Path to Exit
Scaling beyond Seed is where most founders fail—not due to a lack of product-market fit, but because their capital strategy isn’t built for scalable growth. Most startups aren't billion-dollar moonshots that traditional VCs chase, yet they still have significant potential for high-value exits. Founder VC was built to bridge this gap, ensuring that startups with strong fundamentals don’t get overlooked.
We invest in high-potential startups with $1M–$2M ARR, providing not just capital but the exact strategies and operational support needed to secure follow-on growth funding and maximize exit potential. Our model ensures founders aren’t just ‘fundable’ but acquisition-ready.
