Founders Factory builds and funds startups together with exceptional entrepreneurs and the world’s leading companies.
Created by serial entrepreneurs Brent Hoberman and Henry Lane Fox, Founders Factory backs founders with capital, operational support from a team of 100+ hands-on experts, and unrivalled access to industry leaders like Deutsche Telekom, L’Oreal, Aviva, Guardian Media Group, Netcare, Standard Bank, Nesta, Johnson & Johnson D.C. and Reckitt.
Our Venture Studio co-founds businesses from inception, partnering with founders to develop new ideas, technologies, and business models into high growth companies. Together with our corporate partners, we validate ideas, build an MVP, launch to market and raise follow-on capital.
We’re looking for a passionate founder/CEO to lead Prism, a new venture leveraging Web3 technology to create the future of work, starting with the freelancer economy.
Freelancing is the future of work, but existing platforms (Upwork, Fiver) do not support the autonomous nature of freelancing – instead incumbents charge extractive fees, which causes churn that dilutes talent quality.
Prism is a decentralised platform where talent can grow their reputation and careers on a verified chain, earning token rewards for participation that generates value for all stakeholders.
Prism has three components: 1) a wallet containing an individual's Prism work history (i.e. verified resume/CV), reputational score, and tokens for staking and trading, 2) a marketplace connecting talent with employers beyond the limits of small, word-of-mouth networks and 3) a community where talent can learn from each other and find support in the absence of a core team and/or HR structure. The engine driving Prism is a tokenomic structure centred on recommendations & reviews (promoting quality over quantity), which rewards platform-building participation and enables industry-low fees.

- Activate partnerships and supercharge growth by building out the marketplace
