It started with a simple goal…
Help people find purpose, fulfillment, and freedom while supporting themselves with their careers.
Our founder, (a former educator, parent of 3, and co-founder/founder of 4 companies), observed a gap between how young people were preparing for their futures and the skills that companies needed their teams to have to be successful. To help her children have successful futures, she decided that entrepreneurship was the perfect training ground for developing the skills they needed.
Today, Founders Mark serves thousands of learners with dynamic learning experiences that empower them to unleash fearlessness and become owners in all aspects of their lives.
Founders Mark’s pilot program produced VRexplores, a virtual reality events company.
