Founders all
the way down
We’re investors but we’re entrepreneurs first. We’re helpers, hustlers, and dreamers. We’ve been through the ups and downs of running startups. We’re here to help you avoid the mistakes we’ve seen and the mistakes we’ve personally made. We won’t judge you when you make new ones. We promise.
Fifty Years is backed by 46 founders of tech companies valued between $1B and $100B who want to help the next generation of founders change the world for the better. We're founders ourselves, we back founders, and we're backed by world-class founders.
