Ships Every Monday - Sign Up Free!


A weekly journal full of entrepreneurship tips, resources and ideas. Follow me as I upskill as a founder and attempt to launch new, real-life ventures. I share tools and learnings along the way.


Hi, I’m Luke - creator of Founderval.

It’s a personal development platform supporting you to build the 15 core skills of entrepreneurship.

That includes everything from opportunity-spotting and creative thinking to financial literacy, project execution and dealing with risk.

My personal background includes over ten years as a business owner, then another decade working in startup support.

I recently began a six month career sabbatical: I’m on an adventure to level up my skills for a new age of entrepreneurship.

I’m sharing my journey each week in this newsletter, including projects launched, skills learned, useful tools and lots more.

You’re welcome to join me!
