About Founder Map

Founder Map is a library of detailed playbooks for researchers and minus-one founders building deeptech companies: from deciding whether there is a company in your lab, through co-founders, IP, equity and fundraising, to scaling and exits. Each playbook covers India, the US and the UK where they differ, and lists its sources.

62 of 410 playbooks are written so far. The rest are listed in the Library as Planned; questions people ask help decide what gets written next.

Not advice

The playbooks are general information, not legal, tax or financial advice. Laws, policies and market norms change; check the sources and talk to a professional before acting.
