About Louis Warner

Louis Warner came into venture investing through years of hands-on work as an engineering apprentice, mechanical engineer, and lecturer before helping build lastminute.com and later becoming COO at Founders Factory, and that background shows in how he invests today. In his climate work, he focuses on themes rather than regions, favors founders who can combine hardware or science with software and data, judges founders by how fast they can create real value rather than make excuses, and helped build a support model that combines funding, hands-on operational help, and access to grants rather than just writing a check.

Rounds
Avg Check Size

Founders Factory combines a venture studio that builds companies from scratch with accelerator and fund programs for outside founders, backed by about 60 in-house operators and corporate partners that help startups land enterprise deals, and it runs this model across cities like London, Paris and Johannesburg, including a $114M program in Africa. It was started by IPO-exited entrepreneurs Brent Hoberman and Henry Lane Fox, has run partner-specific programs like one with Pico on media, live events and web3, invested in AI startups as early as 2017, and even backed a student-led VC called Creator Fund to help grow future founders and investors.
