Who We are
We started by inviting startup teams that were thoughtful, ambitious, and cared about helping other teams.
These startups included software companies, biotech companies, finance companies, robotics companies, marketplaces, nonprofits, and more.
We’re now expanding to some of the world’s top universities and companies.
What connects us is that we care about helping each other do ambitious things.
Our Founder
Hi! I’m Sean and I’m the founder of the Founders Project.
I’ve also built software for complex work, like the Navigator, an app that makes it easy to navigate across your apps, files, and Chrome tabs, and the Experimenter, an app that makes it easy to view and enter notes about prior versions of any file.
Before that, I cofounded Fuzionaire, a molecular science company out of Caltech that’s creating breakthroughs in medicine and energy, and I was a partner at a sustainability venture capital fund.
Earlier, I practiced law at a large firm for over six years, working with aerospace companies, universities, investment funds, and international development banks.
I also served at Space Command as a JAG officer in the Air Force Reserve and was the Top Graduate (out of 120+ officers) in my Commissioned Officer Training class.
Growing up, I was a professional actor. I graduated from Princeton summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa, Harvard Kennedy School, and Harvard Law School magna cum laude.
I also love making music, releasing my first album in 2019. Here are some of my released songs and songs in the works. And I love sci fi. I’ll talk endlessly about Arthur C. Clarke’s The City and the Stars if you let me.
