Founders Comms is a new strategic communications and policy advisory firm, working with the most exciting founders, startups, scaleups and venture capital investors, at every stage of growth.

In an ever more complex stakeholder landscape, strategic communications is critical for disruptive founders and companies. Done well, comms will enhance a culture, build conviction in a product, shape the regulatory environment and generate excitement.

Why work with us?

‍We think we’re the best of both worlds - a new company that’s looking to grow with an exciting and varied client base, yet already part of the world’s most well-connected tech ecosystems - Founders Forum Group.

We love working with founders to understand their company’s potential and helping them turn that into persuasive and powerful communications. We believe a commitment to quality, interesting work for some of the most exciting, high potential start ups and scaleups out there sets us apart.

We have a strong vision for the company’s culture; we firmly believe that happy people do their best work while living rounded balanced lives. If you join us, you will be involved in helping us to formalise our values and develop this culture.

Our office is within the Founders Forum Group space at the Strand - where we work side-by-side with other businesses serving founders such as Founders Law, Founders Makers and Founders Keepers. We like to come into the office around 3 days a week, but appreciate flexibility and work/life balance is really important - this is something we actively role model as co-founders.
