About Kingdom Founders
Our Story
As founders ourselves, we’ve experienced the incredible highs and painful lows of building our own tech startups. Our faith in Jesus became a foundation to persevere and find purpose. It also helped us become better leaders for our employees, customers, and partners.
Through Kingdom Founders, we invest in Atlanta-based startups through an annual pitch event where the winning startup will receive a $100K investment prize.
In addition to our financial investment, we’ll also be helping the winning startup accelerate growth through dedicated mentorship and support.

Our Mission
