Found

Found is on a mission to make self-employment easier. With business banking and smart, simple financial tools, we help people seamlessly run their own businesses. With over half the U.S. workforce predicted to be self-employed by 2027, we’re proud to be meeting a real and growing need. Self-employment can be infinitely rewarding, but it comes with a host of challenges. When you are your business, even when the job is done, there’s still a ton of work to do—from bookkeeping to invoicing to taxes. The independence of entrepreneurship can instead feel like a maze of paperwork. That’s where we can help. Found automatically tracks expenses, estimates taxes, and keeps the books organized, all from one easy app. With a Found account, everything from business banking to invoicing to reporting is at your fingertips. In the words of one of our members, “it has given me so much financial freedom and free time.” We’re driven by our mission and we work in support of entrepreneurship, independence, and the sheer joy of loving what you do. Come love what you do at Found. Found is a financial technology company, not a bank. Banking services are provided by Piermont Bank, Member FDIC. The Found Mastercard Business debit card is issued by Piermont Bank pursuant to a license from Mastercard Inc.

Josephine Chen
Partner, Sequoia Capital
I strongly believe in immigrant founders: I saw firsthand the sheer tenacity of my parents who built a business while raising two daughters in a country where everything was foreign to them. I viscerally appreciate the challenges and the hopes of those chasing the American Dream—for many immigrants, there is more at stake than just their company. I nearly drowned as a child. I sobbed all day, and the day after that, I asked to enroll in swimming lessons. There are moments where every founder feels like they’re drowning—I want to be their first call when that happens. I started doing research in immunology when I was in middle school. I did translational oncology at Genentech, and then studied a new protein target to slow Alzheimer’s in college. At Stanford, I was able to marry my interests in biology with statistics and computer science, and I am excited to meet entrepreneurs innovating at that intersection.
