Who We Work With

Wikipedia pages for founders & entrepreneurs.

The founder's story is often inseparable from the company's. Where that story has drawn real independent attention, we help establish a biography that does it justice - on the encyclopedia's terms.

In brief
  • For company builders whose work has been independently covered.
  • Founder notability is separate from the company's - each tested on its own.
  • Neutral and sourced - achievement described, not advertised.
  • Honest assessment before any work begins.

A founder is not automatically notable - nor automatically not

Entrepreneurial success and a notable Wikipedia biography are related but distinct. Wikipedia assesses a founder as an individual, against independent coverage of them - not simply of their company. A widely covered company does not guarantee its founder a page, and vice versa. We test both honestly.

Where a founder has been the subject of significant, independent profiles, interviews-with-analysis, books or sustained reporting, a biography may be well founded. Where the coverage is really about the company, the better route may be a company entry instead - and we will say so.

What tends to support a founder's notability

  • Independent profiles in reputable business and national media.
  • Significant recognition - major awards, landmark exits, sustained influence in a field.
  • Authorship or thought leadership covered by others, not just self-published.

Funding announcements, listicles and routine press releases do not count, however prominent the outlet that carried them - see reliable sources.

How we work with founders

We begin with a candid notability assessment, then research, draft and submit with full disclosure through our page-creation process. Many founders also engage us to monitor the live entry as the venture evolves.


Common Questions

Questions, answered plainly.

Q.My company has a Wikipedia page - can I have one too?

Possibly, but it is a separate question. Wikipedia assesses your notability as an individual, based on independent coverage of you personally. Some founders qualify alongside their company; others are better served by the company entry alone. We assess both honestly.

Q.I've raised significant funding - does that make me notable?

Not on its own. Funding announcements are typically based on press releases and are not independent coverage of you. Notability rests on substantial, independent reporting and analysis about you as a person over time.

Q.Can the page focus on my business achievements?

It can describe them, neutrally and with sources, but it cannot read as a pitch for your company. A founder biography that becomes promotional is quickly challenged. We write it as an encyclopedia entry, not a profile page.

If you believe your achievements meet the threshold for an encyclopedic entry - or you wish to review an existing one - we would be glad to assess it candidly and in confidence.
