About Founders Network Fund

In 2023, FN Founder and CEO Kevin Holmes launched FN Fund, a seed-stage venture capital firm affiliated with Founders Network. Over the next three years, our $12.5M fund aims to provide crucial capital and support to top pre-seed and seed-stage startups in the FN pipeline.

With over two decades of experience working closely with early-stage founders, Holmes has developed a keen eye for identifying high-potential founders with exceptional aptitude for scaling technology ventures. Leveraging this expertise and Holmes’ privileged access to deals within the FN pipeline, FN Fund is strategically positioned to invest in transformative companies with exponential potential.
