About us
Technology has made us advance in decades what used to take centuries, but education has fallen behind. We want that to change.
This is Founderz
PASSION
A new kind of education is crucial.
We all enter this world with a howl. At Founderz, we like to think we arrived howling: “Here I am, and here’s my voice,” ready to embrace a blank canvas where anything is possible. But there’s a small challenge: billions have come before us, and this world we share is built not only on their successes, but also on their errors, habits, and conveniences. Education is no exception. However, new technologies are accelerating change like never before.
Today, a new kind of education isn’t just possible —it’s a must. An education that brings out the best in each of us and amplifies it endlessly. One that’s accessible to all and empowers us to become truly unstoppable, responsibly. Artificial Intelligence is a tool that’s here to stay, and learning to use it can transform the world for the better, starting with you. The power to make the world hear your voice is in your hands. Making yourself unstoppable is in them, too.
TALENT
There’s something about Anna. And Pau.
Trying to come to terms with Anna and Pau’s unstoppable lives is like boarding a high-speed train. Born in Barcelona in 1990, Anna is one of Forbes 2024’s 35 Women Leaders in Technology, named Women Leading AI in EDU by the University of Arizona, and a mother of three before turning thirty. Pau (Olesa, 1987) co-founded a Cloud computing company at just 17, won the Princess of Girona Award in 2010, was named Innovator of the Year by MIT at 24, and is the father of the same three children. Together, they’ve been entrepreneurs since 2014, when they launched the highly successful innovation startup, ideafoster, which was later acquired by the private equity group Advent International.
In 2020, they embarked on a family journey around the world, which was cut short by the pandemic. Instead of seeing this as an impediment, the experience led them to reflect on and improve remote education. That’s how Founderz was born —a community that today includes more than 50 talented professionals and over 13,000 students across five continents. We could say Anna and Pau’s paths were destined to cross, not to mention the other curious minds that would join them. Now it’s your turn. Coming?
COLLABORATORS
They say you are the company you keep.
Someone else also said, fill your company with people more talented than yourself, and it will flourish. Do the opposite, and it will eventually disappear. That’s how we think at Founderz, and it’s what has helped us to grow and collaborate with like-minded partners. Such as Microsoft, a global tech leader and one of the world’s most valuable companies. Working together, we launched our Online AI and Innovation Program in 2023, which quickly became Europe’s largest AI training course.
This partnership elevated us to the status of Worldwide Training Services Partner. That’s why every one of our programs includes Microsoft official credentials. And it’s far more than just a title; it’s our ironclad commitment that when you choose to learn with us, you’ll have top talent by your side. Join us —in their company and with some dedication on your part, you’ll push your skills to their fullest potential.
RESPONSIBILITY
Our ERIA Chair. Commitment cum laude.
Artificial Intelligence has dramatically stood out to be a powerful tool, opening up new and incredible possibilities every day. However, its limits are unknown, and its proper use depends —and will continue to depend— on each user. But, most importantly, the initial responsibility belongs to the people behind its use, to those who build it and those teach it. That’s why at Founderz, we have thoroughly examined how to analyse the development and impact of AI on businesses and individuals, and how to share this with society.
A simple conversation with Microsoft and the Autonomous University of Madrid showed us we shared the same concern and need for action. This is how the ERIA Chair (Employability and Responsibility in Artificial Intelligence) was born. The calibre of the institutions involved and the significance of the challenge has driven us to give our very best. We aim for this platform to act as a lighthouse —a light high enough to provide perspective and bright enough to show the path.
A virtual campus with real-life connections.
Effective learning isn’t about a single magic formula or a one-size-fits-all approach. It’s a nuanced blend where every aspect plays a crucial role. From our deep understanding of each new AI advancement to how we navigate practical applications and ethical considerations as individuals and as a society, every detail matters. This includes our choice of instructors, pre-recorded sessions and live masterclasses from industry leaders who set the stage for success.
Yet, it goes far beyond these elements. The true power of learning lies in the community, because we know that knowledge exchange has always driven progress, especially when built on the shoulders of giants. At Founderz, we are deeply committed to fostering a community where diverse perspectives come together to give a result that is uniquely exceptional in every case. Join our Virtual Campus to set off on a journey full of peers who’ll become friends and mentors who’ll light up the way.
