What Founders Factory funds
A London-headquartered studio and accelerator that runs almost everything with a corporate partner: Aviva in fintech, Rio Tinto in mining tech, HSBC in industrials. That makes the accelerator a set of separate programs with their own cheques and deadlines, while the studio is one continuous front door for founders who want to co-found from scratch.
Everything Founders Factory funds →Details
Every accelerator is a partnership with a corporate or a government body and carries its own terms, so no single amount applies. The published example at the time of reading is the Blue Action Accelerator, which invests $150K cash for pre-seed and seed ocean tech. Others open at the time of reading include Aviva and Mediobanca in fintech, Rio Tinto in mining tech, HSBC in industrials and deep tech, Fastweb and Pico in media, and MSWA in neurological care. All run four months of expert-led programming across product, operations, commercialisation, data science, partnerships and fundraising, with investor showcase events at the end. The program list on the page marks which are open and which are closed.
