Unleashing the Builder in all of us
Helping every American with an entrpreneurial dream bring it to life.
Everyone Can Build.
The best way to create mobility in the modern economy isn’t just finding jobs — it’s giving people the tools, capital, and confidence to create their own.
The Builders + Backers Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit fueling a national movement to unlock America’s hidden entrepreneurs. Through our partnership with Builders + Backers Studio, we remove the barriers that prevent people with ideas — everywhere, in every community — from building what’s next.
Because when we unlock the builder in all of us, we unlock the future.
Our Mission
To make it possible for anyone, anywhere, to become a builder — of ventures, solutions, and new futures.
We believe human creativity is the most underused resource in our economy. And when people have access to the right tools, capital, and support, that creativity can change everything.
At a time when automation and disruption threaten to limit opportunity, we see technology as a way to open it — helping people turn ideas into action and build new paths to prosperity.
About Us
The Builders + Backers Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit expanding access to entrepreneurship for everyone.
Working with Builders + Backers Studio, we help people with ideas — from every community and background — take the first steps toward building something of their own.
Our approach blends learning, coaching, and micro-funds so that anyone, even without prior experience or traditional funding, can test and grow their ideas.
This is how we unlock America’s hidden entrepreneurs — and unleash innovation in every corner of the country.
“The next wave of American innovation will come from every corner of this country. From rural towns to big cities, from everyday citizens to aspiring founders, we’re proving that great ideas are everywhere. Builders should be too.”
