FOUND[ERS]
Building up Tomorrow's
Helping the next generation of entrepreneurs make their first real dollars, build the networks that matter, and see what's actually possible.
Empowering young people to build real businesses.
Found[ERS] exists to give students the experience, knowledge, and network they need to succeed as entrepreneurs — not someday, but now.
Build. Connect. Rise.
We give student entrepreneurs the resources, community, and opportunities to turn ideas into real businesses.
Workshops, mentorship, and hands-on resources to go from idea to working product. We don't build it for you — we give you everything you need to ship it yourself.
A network of student founders, investors, and industry professionals who actually show up. Weekly sessions, pitch nights, and a community that holds you accountable.
Pitch competitions with real funding, exposure to investors, and a launchpad for your career as a founder — before you even graduate.
Founders Summit
& Pitch Competition
New York City's premier student entrepreneurship event. Pitch your startup to a panel of investors and industry leaders, attend founder-led sessions, and connect with the people building tomorrow's companies. Free for all students.
What our members are saying.
“I had ideas but no clue where to actually start. Found[ERS] gave me a room full of people figuring it out together — that changed everything for me.”

“I always thought entrepreneurship was for business majors. Being around other students who were just building things opened my mind to what I could actually do.”
