Unleashing the potential in every founder

Founder Library is a learning portal packed with hundreds of resources to help startup founders go further faster.

We envision a world where every founder, regardless of background, is able to bring their boldest vision to life and become an extraordinary leader.

Built on a strong foundation

Community

We believe in the power bringing people together for the collective good. The library is built by contributors who live for helping founders and the startup ecosystem.

Knowledge

We believe knowledge unleashes opportunity. The library contains a treasure trove of tactical, practical and credible resources from the world's top founders, operators, and VCs.

Access

We believe access to information is empowering and liberating. The library has no profit motive and aspires to be accessible to every founder in the world.

Diversity

We believe diversity is required for innovation and social progress. The library is committed to diversity of perspectives and contributors.

It takes a village

Founder Library is led by a collection of contributors who believe in the power of education, entrepreneurship, and community.

We are standing on the shoulders of the founders, operators and investors whose resources are featured in the library. The library wouldn't be possible without their contributions.
