What began as one room is now a relationship engine.
The first F&F event was a single room built on a simple idea: put the right founders and the right funders together, on purpose. Eight years later, that room has become 300+ curated events across 12+ cities and 3 countries, a platform, a media arm, and a fund. The belief never changed. The engine just got bigger.
Built by founders & investors, not organizers
Jeff Erickson
Jeff started Founders & Funders eight years ago on a simple belief: relationships move venture. He brings the vision and strategy that built the engine from the ground up.
Adam Shaw
Adam came on to help scale what Jeff built into the relationship engine it is today. He brings the vision and strategy behind the rooms, the partnerships, and the platform, from New York to every city F&F calls home.
