Founders Pledge

Empowering entrepreneurs to do immense good - We exist to bridge the gap between entrepreneurs and the charities making the most difference in the world.

About us

At Founders Pledge, our mission is to empower entrepreneurs to do immense good. Since launching in 2015, our members have pledged to donate over $10 billion to charitable causes. We offer the simplest path to impact for successful entrepreneurs, providing end-to-end giving infrastructure, pioneering research, and access to a worldwide network of experts. In other words, we help tech leaders become strategic philanthropists. Our 1800+ members include the people behind industry-leading companies such as Airbnb, UiPath, Dropbox, Skype, Spotify, and Uber.

What we do is ambitious and difficult.

No one else in the world is doing it. There’s no playbook for how we’ll achieve our goals, so there’s always a lot to do and a lot more to learn. We operate as both a startup and a nonprofit, which means we can be nimble and iterative in our pursuit of maximizing the impact our members have in the world.

Doing this work requires passion and grit. The payoff - moving hundreds of millions of dollars to organizations that can save the most lives, increase the wellbeing of people and animals to the highest degree, change the course of the climate crisis, prevent future catastrophes, and much more - is well worth it.

What candidates think of Applied

Average rating

over the last 12 months

9 / 10
Asking on the job related questions not only shows you the candidate's experience, but also how they think. The fact that CVs aren't looked at and that they are anonymised makes it feel much more fair.

The questions asked seemed very relevant and were fun to answer.
