"Founders Pledge isn’t just about the money that’s generated, it’s about connecting people and taking them on a journey as philanthropists and leaders." - David Goldberg, Founder & CEO @ Founders Pledge

They offer a streamlined path to impact for successful entrepreneurs, providing end-to-end giving infrastructure, charity research, and a worldwide network of experts. Since launching in 2015, the Founders Pledge community has collectively pledged just shy of $2BN to social causes, and fulfilled pledges worth $365M. Spanning 30 countries and over 1200 members, it includes the people behind industry leading companies including Wework, Deepmind, Skype, Spotify, Y Combinator, Uber, Farfetch and Planet.
