-- Alain Leroy, Founder and Managing Director of Venture Philanthropy Blueprint, was conferred the "Entrepreneurial Excellence Award" at the Founders 2.0 Conference. Held from December 8–10, 2025, at the InterContinental DFC in Dubai, UAE, the conference brought together founders and business leaders recognized for building ventures that combine purpose, execution discipline, and long-term value creation.
Alain Leroy is a Strategy + Tech + Ops Advisor who equips underinvested founders and impact entrepreneurs with the systems, clarity, and tools to scale solutions that transform industries and communities. Over three decades, he has built and scaled ventures across the US and the Caribbean, led initiatives that reached millions, and partnered with social entrepreneurs, family offices, and Fortune 500 leaders.
Born and raised in Queens, New York, to Caribbean parents, Alain learned early the values of resilience and community. Today, through his Venture Philanthropy Blueprint, he helps founders turn underfunded visions into investable realities and build ventures that last.
Speaking at the Founders 2.0 Conference, Alain said, “Ideas don’t fail—systems do. At Founders 2.0, I introduced Venture Philanthropy Blueprint (VPB) and the 100×10 Thesis: building 100 ventures capable of reaching $10M each by designing infrastructure first. When capital, capacity, and community are engineered together, impact stops being episodic and starts compounding at scale.”
He further added, “I’m honored to receive the Entrepreneurial Excellence Award at the Founders 2.0 Conference. This recognition reflects the work of builders everywhere who are proving that impact scales when vision is matched with execution, systems, and long-term thinking. Being part of a global community focused on building ventures that last—and create real economic and social value—was both grounding and energizing.”
This distinction underscored Alain’s contribution to impact entrepreneurship, highlighting his role in enabling founders to build scalable, investable ventures that deliver both economic and community value.
