About Founders Forum - Overview

Founders Forum: Queensland's Public Angel Investor Network

Since the Founders Forum inception in February 2001, entrepreneurs involved have proceeded to attract investments in excess of $90 million.

Investors and mentors are exposed to the latest opportunities and entrepreneurs are exposed to people within the community with the potential to assist with business knowledge and funding.

Founders Forum is a public angel investor network devoted to educating business executives and assisting early-stage investment opportunities through regular meetings where business issues are discussed and where entrepreneurs present their ventures. Experienced investors and executives invest, sit on boards, make introductions, consult and share their experiences with other angels and business associates. 

Entrepreneurs are starting companies in record numbers and a significant number of these are proving highly successful. Historically, the only way members could invest in these promising, early-stage companies was if they happened to have a personal relationship with one of the start-up's founders. 

The Founders Forum provides a solution to all who did not have the opportunity to invest in the seed rounds of QRXPharma, Microsoft, or Peplin. 

Investors come from all walks of life and contribute to an entrepreneurs success in many ways.
