1859 is now FOUNDERS FIRST FUND!

We fund exceptional founders because it’s time they stop being ignored in the Pacific Northwest!

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 micro fund built for founders, by founders.

We Invest In The Ignored

With a team dedicated to helping PNW’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.
