a simple process

How it works

You don't have to be a coder. Builders, idea-havers, operators, and domain experts all apply — and find the people they're missing in the community.

01

Submit application

Tell us who you are, what you want to build, your experience, and your current progress.

02

Builder evaluation

We look for execution ability, technical capability, problem understanding, and commitment.

03

Founder conversation

Selected applicants talk with the team — your idea, your skills, your goals, and potential team formation.

04

Join the residency

Selected founders enter the 14-day Foundry experience and start building.

You don't need to write code. If you have the idea, the domain expertise, or the ability to sell, apply — and find a builder in the community to build it with you. No perfect idea, registered company, or big team required. Companies here are expected to use AI as a core advantage.

No pitch decks. No theory. Only execution.
