FOUNDERS
We partner with non-technical founders to build, fund and scale revenue-focused tech companies.

Starting your first business can be daunting. Having the “Big Idea” is only the beginning; there are a lot of financial, legal and commercial things to think about. How do you get to product/market fit? What do you do to design the product? Who can help with the tech? Our Resources hub has loads of helpful content that answers all these questions and more. We’ve launched dozens of start-ups and act as co-founders to support you in all the things you need to do to build, fund and scale your new venture. Our Founders’ Circle and Ecosystem provide even more support.
If you’ve already started, scaled and sold at least one business, you’ll know how tough that journey can be. Our approach resonates with multi-business founders like you because you’ll understand how our way prevents mistakes you’ve made in the past. Maybe you have access to more capital and the desire to deploy it faster than a first-time founder. Either way, most second- or third-time founders want to build intellectual property and realise that value sooner than before and a partner like us can really help you to turbo-charge progress on your next adventure.
We work with senior management of existing businesses that are looking to build something new. It could be digitising their existing business and moving it online to enable rapid scaling. Many want to form a newco, take advantage of SEIS and EIS funding, and carve out some new value. You’ll have certain advantages already – product/market fit, existing customers and established know-how – but may never have built a tech-based offering before. Our approach helps you to turn your existing IP into something digital, more valuable, more scalable and more investable.

Founder + Lightning is a Venture Builder that’s here to work with you as a long-term partner over the lifecycle of your business. That means we bring a portfolio of commercial, product and technology services to help at each stage of your journey.
These are non-linear steps and founders jump in at different times, depending on how much progress they’ve made themselves.
The products we design have three typical use cases: mobile apps, client software or marketplaces. Very often, it’s a hybrid of all of them.
Our portfolioMost importantly, we don’t get hung up on hot tech or trends. We’re not chasing unicorns. Rather, we want to build rock-solid companies with a focus on digitising new product ideas.
Our proven approach provides the tools that founders need to start businesses, launch new products and digitise industries. Could we be your ideal partner?
