Our Studio partners with entrepreneurs at day one, developing new ideas, technologies and business models into high growth companies. We have created the fastest way to build a successful startup.

We know that starting and growing a business is hard so we’ve designed the people, processes, and platform to remove as much friction as possible.
The Opportunity:
Southeast Asia's energy transition is one of the largest economic shifts of the next decade, and Thailand sits at the centre of it. Energy demand keeps climbing, yet less than 1% of Thai households have solar, factories run on decades-old infrastructure, and businesses face rising pressure from carbon regulation at home and abroad. The systems that power homes, industry, and agriculture were not built for what comes next.
The tools to change this now exist: cheap solar and storage, embedded finance, smart optimisation software, and new markets for carbon and clean energy proof. What's missing are the companies, built for Thailand's market realities, that put these pieces together at scale. Backed by one of Thailand's largest energy groups, these ventures launch with distribution, industrial customers, and balance sheet access most startups spend years earning.
We are looking for exceptional entrepreneurs ready to build the future of clean energy in Thailand and beyond. Whether you're a founder post-exit hunting your next venture, an operator who has scaled a business from the inside and is ready to run your own, or a domain expert who knows this market cold, Founders Factory is the world's best cofounder.
