Explore the founders and companies supported through Founders at the University of Cambridge. Rooted in University research, teams are powering growth through science, building ventures with real‑world applications that address global challenges – from climate change and mental health to disease treatment and food security. These companies span early‑stage ideas through to growing ventures across deep tech, life sciences, physical sciences and more.
