The people behind Firm Foundation.

Two founders, our FaithTech partners, and the operators, investors, pastors and engineers who hold us to it.

I’m Gavin, from Dallas. I’ve grown up in church my whole life and have seen how much effort it takes to run it. With my skills and abilities, I want to serve the kingdom and give time back to the people who are running the show.
Caleb Newton
Growth and partnerships

I founded Everything Night, which brought churches, ministries and more than 20 Christian clubs from different cities into one room for the first time. Since then I’ve worked across software engineering, business development and operations at startups. Firm Foundation is where it all comes together: getting people in the same room, and building the systems that keep them connected.

Who we answer to.

Mixbook's CEO, who chairs a faith and work center, a Praxis Fellow, an evangelist, an Acts2 pastor and FaithTech's leaders, beside ministers who build at Google, Apple and YC startups.
