Insead Founders Pledge

INSEAD entrepreneurs come from a long tradition of leaders who inspire, innovate and activate the big ideas that change business for the better. Since our school's inception, the ripple effects of INSEAD's entrepreneurial spirit have been felt around the world.

The Founders Pledge is an opportunity for our entrepreneurs, investors and innovators to partner with INSEAD to amplify their success, subscription to INSEAD school updates and join a global group of innovators affiliated with the school. 

  • 1 Pledge

    You support INSEAD with your future success by signing a pledge to commit a portion of your unrealised proceeds.

  • 2 Join

    With the pledge, you join the Founders Society, an exclusive ecosystem of enterprising alumni, faculty and students.

  • 3 Donate

    When you or your company reaches a liquidity event, you determine the timing and designation of your gift to the school. INSEAD recognises you for the cash donation.

  • 4 Create Impact

    Through our shared success, you fortify INSEAD’s thought leadership. You embrace the entrepreneurial spirit that has guided our school since its founding and make a lasting impact for future generations.
