How It Works / 001

Start with the problem. Decide what should exist.

Foundry starts with real problems — the kind people live with every day — and works to understand which ones matter enough to solve.

Behind the work is Problem Intelligence, Foundry’s proprietary intelligence system for turning fragmented problem signals into clearer opportunities.

  1. 01

    Surface the problem

    Real problems come from the people, businesses and communities closest to them.

  2. 02

    Understand what matters

    Foundry investigates using evidence, relevant expertise and proprietary intelligence.

  3. 03

    Build what should exist

    The right opportunities can become solutions, products or new companies.

Not every problem should become a company.

Some problems deserve a new venture. Some deserve a solution built for the business living with them. Some are better left alone for now. Foundry’s job is to tell the difference.

The process starts with a problem.
