1859 is now FOUNDERS FIRST FUND!
We fund exceptional founders because it’s time they stop being ignored in Oregon!
For too long the founders building remarkable solutions have been ignored. We believe it’s time to narrow the wealth gap, help the founders who need help the most, and fuel growth at the earliest stages. Founders First Fund is a mico fund built for founders, by founders.
We Invest In The Ignored
With a team dedicated to helping Oregon’s incredible founders, Founders First Fund is focused on working with founders of high-scale startups at the earliest stages. Typically the “first money in”, FF Fund is not just a check but can help founders proliferate.
Our Process
If you are an early-stage company with a founding team working to transform a big industry and need funding to help fuel your growth then we should talk. Once we chat and learn more about your business we work with you to get an answer fast so you can focus on building.
