The Founders

Peak^TM

A global platform that truly celebrates entrepreneurship. Globally, entrepreneurs are audacious trailblazers, engines of innovation and economic growth, risk-takers who turn "what ifs?" into "watch me!" They go the distance, create jobs, shake up industries, and leave the world a little brighter, a little bolder than they found it.

At its flagship edition at SFF, you will find valuable resources, connections, and real-world experiences that you need to thrive as a Founder. It is no surprise that since launch at SFF 2022, The Founders Peak has already hosted exceptional founders from nearly 40 countries, at stages in Singapore, Rwanda, Japan, the Nordics, Ghana and Switzerland.

This platform for start-up founders works hard to bring all stakeholders critical to start-up success, to share their hard-earned knowledge and insights. This year, we aim to boost global startup success rates by introducing founder and investor-focused mentorship sessions, exclusive masterclasses such as The Art of Storytelling with TEDx, a spotlight on women entrepreneurs, mental health and wellness workshops, and an alumni meet-up for past participants of The Founders Peak™.

We welcome you to get involved. Start by telling us an untold chapter of your story. Go beyond the pitch.
