our mission.

Born out of Founders Forum, a global community of the world's leading tech entrepreneurs, Founders Academy is pioneering a new model of education for tomorrow's world.

We believe that too many of our brightest minds are stuck in conventional careers where they are analysing our future rather than building it. We exist to unleash this potential by providing a pathway into London’s most ambitious scaleups.

Why? Because we believe scaleups are unique places to learn not only how to thrive in the future of work, but how to shape it.
