Founders Pledge is a London-based charitable initiative, where entrepreneurs make a commitment to donate a portion of their personal proceeds to charity when they sell their business. Inspired by effective altruism, the mission of Founders Pledge is to "empower entrepreneurs to do immense good".
By the end of 2019, around 1300 entrepreneurs across 26 countries have signed up to Founders Pledge. Collectively, they have pledged to donate $2 billion in share value, and about $370 million in donations have been completed to date.
