The Startup Catch-22

75% of startups are self-funded.

Only 0.05% ever get VC backing.

Over half of startup failures trace back to two things: not enough money, and not enough team.

Foundry solves both.

One platform. One interface. A real team.

Persistence

AI employees remember everything across sessions. No more re-explaining your business every conversation.

Context

They learn your business as you build it. Your AI team gets smarter the more you work together.

Human Control

Approval workflows keep you in the loop. Nothing happens without your say-so.

Ownership

Your code, your repos, your work. Cancel anytime and keep everything you've built.
