We feel founders deserve:

  1. Non Dilutive Funding Opportunities
  2. Healthcare
  3. Legal Support
  4. Community Untethered From Any Fund or Accelerator

Our Mission

The Founders Union exists to protect, empower, and organize startup founders against structural exploitation in venture capital, accelerators, and the broader startup ecosystem.

We believe founders are not disposable. We reject extractive models that strip visionaries of equity, control, and credit while rewarding middlemen who profit from opacity and power imbalances.

We’re building collective leverage, open standards, and enforceable norms so that no founder ever again has to fight alone.
