Founder of Winged Founders & the Fortune Cookie Foundation
I’m Genavive, the founder of Winged Founders. I’m a computer science student who started my first social impact project in my bedroom at sixteen, and I’ve been mentoring other changemakers ever since.
I operate by the belief that every young person deserves the chance to turn adversity into growth through building meaningful projects. I want young people navigating hardship to have the guidance I wished I had as a teenager, which is why I started Winged Founders and the Fortune Cookie Foundation, a nonprofit changing how we take care of youth mental health.
If you’re a bedroom founder building from constraints, WF was made with you in mind: personalized roadmaps with milestones tailored to your profile, opportunity matching to save you hours of solo research, storytelling that turns lived experience into a mission people root for, and 1:1 mentorship in a doc.
If anything here resonates with you, I’d love to hear from you. Reach out at everuhz@gmail.com. If you have questions about anything around the site, I’d be more than happy to help! :]

Sister nonprofit
Care for others starts with care for yourself.
Alongside WF, launching the Fortune Cookie Foundation, a nonprofit advocating for student mental health support reform, was a natural next step. We believe that you deserve support that takes care of you, not just your résumé.
In tandem with Winged Founders, the Fortune Cookie Foundation is about showing youth that their mental health is just as important as their external success. Like opening a fortune cookie, FCF works to bring direction and guidance to students navigating hardship.
