“Founded by three amazing women I admire, Founderland is really making this world a better place: and doing so by creating a space with opportunities for other women founders to be heard, be part of the community, and most importantly, get funded! A heartfelt appreciation for our journey together.”

“In order to build a more equitable and representative society, the businesses, products and projects being built for the future need to be built by people who represent all corners of society. This most importantly means underrepresented and intersectional groups: PoC, women and LGBTQIA+ people. The lack of diversity in the founder community will always be a hurdle to a more inclusive future, and organisations like Founderland are tackling this at every level. Structural obstacles to a more inclusive society can only be overcome if networks and communities like Founderland come together to spark tangible change.”

“Our future needs to be invented by everyone, not just founders with structural privilege. Deb, Alina and Steph are doing the work that will make a difference for our society in the long run.”

“Founderland fosters a peer community of founders and levels the playing field for all entrepreneurs, by addressing the most underrepresented through education, (peer)mentoring and tailored support.”

“As an impact investor I look for founders with diverse backgrounds and outlooks to solve some of the world's hardest social and environmental issues, as the existing crew in charge have not done a great job. Founderland provides Ananda with access to an incredible growing community of one of the most underinvested founder demographics in VC. It's time for a change.”
