The Funden team
Our Mission
Our mission is to connect high-quality founders to high-quality capital.
Having raised $40M for startups of all sizes, we know how grueling and tiresome fundraising can be. We built Funden to simplify the fundraising process and free up founders and investors to focus on what they do best.
Our team is a world-class mix of leaders and operators within product, finance, law, and more. We're looking forward to working with you.
