For Founders
For founders raising with purpose.
Foundry membership for founders is built around one promise: when it's time to raise, you won't be doing it cold. You'll have warm access to capital, honest peers, and a network that has already done what you're doing.
What membership includes.
Benefits
Warm access to active capital
Introductions to investors who are actively writing checks in your space — made deliberately, with context on both sides.
A private peer circle
A small group of founders at your stage who meet regularly to share what's actually happening — hiring, fundraising, hard calls.
In-person gatherings
Quarterly dinners and closed sessions. No panels, no badges — just the right people around a table.
Raise support
Help shaping your raise: narrative, target list, and sequencing — from people who have closed rounds themselves.
The Bar
Is this you?
We look for signal, not polish. If most of these describe you, your application will get a serious read.
- —You are a founder of a post-revenue or post-traction company.
- —You are raising now, or preparing to raise in the next two quarters.
- —You can be referenced — by members, investors, or operators who know your work.
- —You give as well as ask. The network works because members help first.
Ready when you are.
Applications from founders are reviewed on a rolling basis, usually within two weeks.
