About Founder Ventures
Founder Ventures is a venture studio for bootstrapped B2B SaaS founders. We back operators who want to own what they build, and we build alongside them.
What we do
Most founders spend their first years hunting for the same four things: a market where demand is already proven, a product plan that survives contact with customers, distribution, and someone who has done it before. We put those in place from day one. We map product-led B2B opportunities, select a founder for each one, and hand over the playbooks, the shared infrastructure, and the operating support behind them.
Each company stays the founder's company. We optimise for profit and ownership rather than for the next round, and when a founder is ready to sell, our M&A experience goes to work on the terms.
Who runs it
Brian Flynn co-founded Founder Ventures after 26 companies, 10 exits, and more than 70 M&A and financing transactions, including the sale of Macromedia to Adobe. Rome Rogers co-founded it from the product side: building and scaling software, vetting founders, and shipping the studio's own tools.
The wider network runs across Europe and the US: founders, operators, and specialists who review each other's products, open doors, and answer the questions that cost solo founders months.
What we build
The portfolio includes Rankwise for AI visibility measurement, Debriefing for competitive intelligence, OutFriend for cold email that sounds like the sender, and Atlas. Every company shares the same growth stack, so a lesson learned in one shows up in the next.
