Foundr is an Australian digital subscription magazine focused on the topic of entrepreneurship. The magazine was launched by Nathan Chan, who also serves as the editor of the publication. [1][2][3][4]
History
The magazine was not originally called Foundr. After a lawsuit filed against the magazine by another company, Nathan Chan renamed the magazine to Foundr. [5] The first issue of the magazine had only two subscribers. [6]
Chan continued working as an IT support technician while publishing the magazine as a side project. [7][8] At the same time, Foundr magazine started gaining subscribers. After noticing the effectiveness of Instagram posts in attracting subscribers, Chan focused more on Instagram to boost subscriptions. [9] The magazine gained significant exposure when Richard Branson was featured in the seventh issue. [10]
In 2014, Chan left his job at Intrepid Travel to focus full-time on the magazine. [11] By November 2014, Foundr had over 100,000 downloads. [12]
As of March 2016, over one million people read Foundr's content monthly. [6] The magazine has featured interviews with Richard Branson, Tony Robbins, Arianna Huffington, Marie Forleo, Michelle Phan, Deepak Chopra, Barbara Corcoran, and Tim Ferriss. Over time, Foundr expanded into a media company, offering educational courses, magazine subscriptions, podcasts, events, and extensive content on their blog, newsletter, and social media. [13]

[14] The book provides business advice, tips, and case studies from successful entrepreneurs. The project exceeded its funding goal, raising over $200,000, which was four times the original goal of $50,000. [15]
