Our Story
Harlan Milkove, a repeat VC-backed startup founder, started Foundational in 2016 to solve the early-stage fundraising challenges he and his teams had faced due to the asymmetry of information between founders and their prospective investors.
Prior to Foundational, Harlan co-founded Reonomy, a commercial real estate analytics platform which has raised $125M+ in VC. He has also been a founding member of companies in the blockchain, IoT, and on-demand labor verticals.
Harlan also mentors several accelerators, including Techstars and Quake Capital, and leads workshops where he teaches others how to implement Traction Science.
