Our Mission
Empowering Entrepreneurs
Wir from the Founders Foundation train the next generation of successful founders, right in the heart of the German “Mittelstand” – the family businesses, the salt-of-the-earth type companies that form the foundation of the economy. We are pioneering the training of founders using our own Founders Foundation Education Model.
By creating a lasting B2b startup ecosystem, we connect New and Old Business. We actively help shape the digital future out of Ostwestfalen-Lippe, a region characterized by both modern urban spaces and large rural areas. In this context, we launched the tech conference “Hinterland of Things” in 2018.
As a non-profit organization, the core of all our efforts is a success- and impactful cultivation of tomorrow’s founders. We do not take any shares in the companies.
Jubiläum – #5yrsFF
It has been five years since our founders Sebastian Borek & Dominik Gross have launched the Founders Foundation together with the Bertelsmann Stiftung. Since that day, we were able to make many great things happen.
