About Us
Starting, building, and scaling a business can be an amazing experience but it’s often brutal. It’s a journey fraught with challenge and uncertainty. At each stage, you don’t know what you don’t know and it never gets any easier. At Founder Works, our mission is to pay it forward with capital, hard work and proven know-how.
Our story
Founder Works was started by Alex Ford. During his own 23-year entrepreneurial journey that led to a billion-dollar exit, Alex realized his deep passion for helping entrepreneurs address many of the challenges he was facing – particularly those in smaller verticals not traditionally served by venture capital.
Founder Works was formed to share that experience and invest capital to help create life changing outcomes for founders and their teams. It combines a methodology and proven system for scaling with a network of investors and roster of successful founders. Let us help you scale your business.
