Why Founders?

Bain & Company research found that Founder-Led US stocks outperformed non-founder-led peers 3.1x over 25 years (1990–2014) and 2.1x over 10 years (2015–2024).

Yet most institutional portfolios and benchmarks have limited Founder exposure.

We believe Founders unite elite talent around a compelling mission, allocate capital with conviction, and transform successful ventures into innovative public companies capable of creating sustainable competitive advantages and enduring shareholder value.

Founder Indexes provides a systematic framework for identifying, classifying, and benchmarking Founder-Led US-listed equities.

Bain defines “Founder-Led” as a company with a Founder serving as a chief officer or board member; Founder Indexes excludes board members from its definition.
