Scale your business. Accelerate your journey.
You have proven product market fit and a strong renewal rate.
What you don’t have? The capital and expertise to take you to the next level. That’s our job.
At Founder Works, we focus on early-stage companies – those with $500K to $6M in annual recurring revenue – that serve B2B verticals not well suited to venture capital and too early for private equity. We offer deep expertise in Public Safety, GovTech, Digital Media and MarTech.
Market Tested. Outcome Driven.
Our methodology and operating system for scaling companies – combined with equity and debt capital – sets founders and their teams on the path to life changing outcomes.
Alex Ford
Our investments
As a founder who’s never worked with an early stage investor, Alex and his team at Founder Works have exceeded all imaginable expectations in helping us execute a lean and scalable SaaS playbook. After four startups, I was prone to the same blunders that led to previous failures. Having Alex’s mentorship and guidance on strategically executing the right way gives me great confidence in achieving our exit goals.
Alex was the first investor to believe in me and Nostra. Since the inception of the business, Alex has guided me through both good and bad times and been a true thought partner for critical decisions. When the chips are down, there is no one else I would prefer to have in my corner.
Alex brings deep experience and insight into what it takes to run a successful SaaS business. Working with Founder Works has helped us scale our revenue and profitability quicker, staff and run more efficiently, and game plan for new ideas and product enhancements more robustly. Alex’s relationships with investors — and expertise on managing those relationships — have boosted to how we look at the future of our business.

When you found a company, one thing is for sure: You’ll be giving more than your fair share of presentations and speeches. It could be to a board, a partner, a conference audience, or — maybe most importantly — to your company at an offsite, all hands or Christmas party. You might even be lucky […]
Back in the dotcom days, there was almost nothing as important as a good partnership and most start-ups spent a lot of time developing them.
