About us

Two students on a mission to make money make sense

Future Founders is run by two college students who visit Dublin classrooms every week to teach the money skills most of us never learned in school.

Why we started

A gap we couldn't ignore

Few elementary schools offer any formal financial education. That means most students reach adulthood without knowing how to budget, save, or think about risk, and they learn the hard way.

We started Future Founders to close that gap early. Instead of an after-school program only some kids can attend, we partner with classroom teachers and teach during the school day, so every student in the room gets the same head start.

Our lessons are built around what kids love: playing, competing, and creating. By the end of eight weeks, students aren't just learning about money. They're pitching their own businesses.
