Founders Pledge, founded in 2013 and headquartered in the United Kingdom, is a pioneering force in the Financial Services sector, specifically targeting philanthropy through a unique model tailored for entrepreneurs. Their mission, captured in their slogan, "We exist to bridge the gap between entrepreneurs and the charities making the most difference in the world," has guided them in creating a notable global nonprofit platform.
The company enables entrepreneurs to make an impactful change by pledging a small percentage of their personal exits to charities. This model emphasizes rigorous, evidence-based approaches to philanthropy, offering complimentary services such as research and consultancy to ensure transparency and efficacy in donations. Their commitment to channel 100% of donations directly to charities further distinguishes their approach.
Supported by a robust network of investors, including Blaine Vess, Niklas Adalberth, and Andy McLoughlin, Founders Pledge received a grant investment of $2.62M on 27 December 2019, reflecting significant confidence in their mission and execution.
