Founder is a next-gen mobile app designed to give entrepreneurs a dedicated space to connect, share stories, and build credibility. Unlike generalist platforms, Founder is tailored for startup energy — bold, fast-moving, and community-driven.

Entrepreneurs often feel buried under the noise of platforms like LinkedIn. They need a tool that prioritizes meaningful connections, transparent credibility, and effortless showcasing of achievements.

We approached design not just as UI, but as psychology and ethics in action:

Two Modes, Two Moods Dark Mode channels exclusivity and focus — like a private club for founders working late nights. Light Mode offers clarity, warmth, and accessibility — because not every founder thrives in the dark.

Events that Feel Alive The event screens were designed to capture anticipation and presence. From fire icons marking hot sessions to clear tabs for “Upcoming, My Events, Past,” everything is about reducing friction and making founders feel part of the moment.

Profiles as Narratives Instead of a static résumé, each profile is a living portfolio. Skills, projects, and endorsements flow like a story — credibility is built transparently, not gamified for vanity.

Ethical Design Choices No infinite scroll. No dopamine traps. Interactions are intentional: comment, connect, endorse. Every design decision was a stand against addictive mechanics, in favor of meaningful engagement.

Founder feels different. It’s not just another feed, it’s a community built with respect for time, energy, and ambition. Dark and light modes offer choice, inclusivity, and comfort. Events feel engaging, not overwhelming. Profiles elevate founders as stories worth following.
