Founders Fund

Founded in 2005 by Peter Thiel, Ken Howery, and Luke Nosek, Founders Fund is a San Francisco-based venture capital firm that invests in companies building revolutionary technologies. The firm takes a contrarian approach, betting early and aggressively on founders building the future.

Founders Fund invests across aerospace & defense, AI & machine learning, biotech & health, consumer, enterprise, energy, fintech, and frontier technology. Their philosophy: "We wanted flying cars, instead we got 140 characters" — backing founders who pursue transformative, not incremental, innovation.

With portfolio companies including SpaceX, Palantir, Airbnb, Stripe, Anduril, Spotify, Nubank, Affirm, Ramp, Scale AI, and many more, Founders Fund has become one of the most influential venture firms in the world. In 2025, the firm raised its Growth III fund at $4.6 billion for late-stage investments.

Mission: We invest in revolutionary technologies that make the world a radically better place.
