Business benefit

The main reason for Fownders success is that they became technology based. Fownders started out to have a location in Newark, NJ but then later adjusted their business to be a technology-based organization. The employees can work from their home. They created a place that is enjoyable for employees to work by becoming more flexible with how they reach out and inspire entrepreneurs. The employees have a flexible schedule because they are able to work in the comfort of their home. The culture of the company is concentrated on personal development and community. Each employee has had a personal growth while working in the company. The culture is to be supportive and helpful to others.

Since Fownders is technology based they can mentor and educate those in many locations such as California, Brazil, Columbia, Canada, and New York. The reason that Fownders is different from the rest is that they have relevant education in an accessible manner. The mentors' goals are to serve quality education with an easygoing culture.
