GLOBAL FOUNDERS NEED SILICON VALLEY
THIS IS WHAT WE OFFER
FUNDRAISING
angel, venture capital & private equity
Silicon Valley is still the most active hub for investment capital in the world. Founders Embassy connects program founders with Silicon Valley investors focused on their specific businesses.
MENTORSHIP
coaching from silicon valley experts
The Silicon Valley “startup mentality" is unlike anywhere else in the world. People are willing and excited to give back to the next generation of global change makers.
NETWORK
Likeminded entrepreneurs and partners
Starting a company can be a long and lonely journey. Building an ecosystem of entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley helps to encourage and support founders as they grow – either here or abroad.
GLOBAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP BY THE NUMBERS
our mission
Founders Embassy's mission is to democratize access to Silicon Valley for the most talented international startups that lack the privilege of insider connections and resources.
We believe that radical inclusiveness will drive far greater outcomes than ever before and it starts with bringing people together from diverse backgrounds to solve the world's most consequential problems.
PROGRAMS AND EVENTS
Founders Embassy programs and events are designed to be immersive, inclusive, and informative.
Founders Embassy Acceleration Program

INSPIRING THOUGHT LEADERS
MARVIN LIAO
Partner, 500 STARTUPS
"We like international companies, some of our best teams are from overseas.... The best companies are the ones that keep their engineering teams home, but double down on the sales and marketing front in the US."
WILLIAM ALTMAN
Intelligence Analyst, Cybersecurity, CB Insights
“Increasing access to venture capital in previously under served markets enables entrepreneurs to execute on impactful ideas that will ultimately transform the societies in which they grow for the better.”
BORDERLESS BY DESIGN
Founders join us from around the world
Founders Embassy is designed to be a "home away from home" for global entrepreneurs whether they are visiting founders from another country or immigrant founders living in the U.S.
While Silicon Valley remains an epicenter of technological innovation, radical inclusiveness will drive far greater outcomes than ever before.
By bringing change makers from diverse backgrounds together through intimate gatherings, focused discussions and purposeful events, we can collectively move toward solving the world’s most consequential problems.
