Our Credo at Foundation Capital

Since the first invention, humanity has advanced because remarkable people have pushed us forward. Across the ages, these women and men have been called different things. We call them founders.

We back individuals who want to nudge the world ahead in some way, using a transformative business as their fulcrum. Great companies aren’t formed from code and corporate charters. They’re built on a foundation of dreams and desires; raised up through struggle and sacrifice. For such companies to succeed, their founders have to want success badly. It has to come from the deepest part of them—a hunger to create something consequential, something lasting; a need to prove themselves, whether out of a sense of mission, or a yearning for significance, or a heart full of disobedience. We look for founders who believe—even if they would never speak it out loud—that the purpose of life is to be briefly extraordinary.
