A New Chapter for FounderMade
For nearly a decade, FounderMade has served as a vibrant platform for innovation, connection, and discovery. What began as a simple idea grew into a thriving community of founders, investors, and industry leaders, all united by a shared vision to shape the future of consumer brands.
Now, FounderMade is entering a new chapter as we sunset the FounderMade brand this April and transition into the broader Informa portfolio—home to a dynamic network of industry-leading events and platforms that continue to fuel the growth of emerging brands.
Through our events and this incredible community, we have embarked on a journey powered by passion, creativity, and an unwavering belief in the founders and brands shaping the future. To every entrepreneur who has trusted us, every partner who showed up, and every teammate who gave their heart to this mission: thank you.
With your support, we built more than events—we built a community. We sparked conversations, fostered partnerships, and watched countless ideas grow into category-defining brands. That energy doesn’t disappear. While the FounderMade brand will no longer continue independently, we’re confident that Informa’s extensive network of industry-leading events offers new opportunities for founders and partners to grow their businesses, expand their reach, and connect with the right buyers, retailers, and investors. From product discovery and thought leadership to retail and investor connections, Informa has many avenues to support the growth of innovative brands. Our team is committed to helping you find the right platform to meet your goals, and we encourage you to explore what’s next with us.
Here are a few upcoming Informa events that may align with your business:
Beauty: Cosmoprof North America /
Health & Nutrition: Newtopia Now /
Thank you to our community. We are proud of what we built together—and excited to see your brands continue to flourish.
