Our take

Powered by entrepreneurs, Founders Intelligence helps industry-leading businesses to pursue growth opportunities to keep them at the forefront of the rapidly emerging market. Started from within Founders Forum, it has access to an influential digital network of investors and entrepreneurs.

This offers Founders Intelligence an inside and insightful perspective into emerging technologies, business models, and consumer expectations in order to reshape the future of industries. It uses this to pursue its mission of combining strategy consultancy with the vision and creativity of entrepreneurship.

Founders Intelligence supports clients with growth strategy, delivery capability, strategic start-up engagement, new revenue line & venture building, and acceleration programmes, all to help corporate leaders deliver new growth opportunities.

Since its founding in 2013, Founders Intelligence has attracted employees who have invested in or built online businesses like Lastminute.com, Spotify, DeepMind, and Siri. This approach has helped many large companies - including BP, Facebook, Shazam, and Visa - to bringing entrepreneurial frameworks into their businesses.

In November 2021, Founders Intelligence was acquired by Accenture, a global professional services company with leading capabilities in digital, cloud and security. Being part of Accenture will no doubt provide great opportunities for Founders Intelligence and its clients as it combines its entrepreneur-led growth approach with Accenture’s global innovation ecosystem and delivery capabilities.
