Founder Stories Journal is a print and online publication featuring interviews with entrepreneurs, small business owners, solopreneurs, and independent founders from around the world.
We are currently accepting applications for complimentary founder interviews as part of our launch series.
Founder Stories Journal is an independent publication dedicated to the people behind businesses. We publish thoughtful interviews with founders, entrepreneurs, small business owners, and independent professionals who are building meaningful companies, brands, and practices.
Each interview is published both online and in the printed edition of Founder Stories Journal — giving your story a permanent place in a physical publication alongside founders from around the world.
Our goal is to highlight real entrepreneurial journeys — the ideas, challenges, decisions, lessons, and personal stories behind every business.
"Every business begins with a decision, a risk, and a story.
Founder Stories Journal exists to document those stories."
We welcome applications from founders and entrepreneurs across different industries and business stages. You do not need to run a large company to have a story worth sharing.

A founder interview gives you a dedicated space to present your journey, values, business idea, and lessons learned in a thoughtful editorial format. Whether you are building a local business, a digital product, a consulting practice, or an independent brand — your story can help others understand not only what you do, but why you do it.
Share how your idea started, what you are building, and why it matters.
A professional interview can help potential clients, partners, and collaborators understand who you are.
Your interview appears in both the digital edition and the printed journal — a tangible publication you can share, display, and add to your press page.
Use your interview link and print feature on your website, LinkedIn, Instagram, newsletter, or media kit.
Founder interviews are not only promotional — they help communicate your mission clearly.

Founder Stories Journal is published both as an online journal and as a printed edition. Selected interviews appear in both formats, giving your founder story a lasting presence beyond the digital space.
The printed journal is distributed and archived as a physical record of entrepreneurial journeys — a tangible publication that you can add to your press kit, display in your studio or office, and share with clients, partners, and collaborators.
Being featured in a print publication carries a different weight than a digital post. It is a permanent, editorial record of your business story.
