Further: for Good.
The investment arm of Foundry for Good builds, acquires, and scales mission-driven companies. Start with purpose. Deploy permanent capital. Scale through a network that believes business and impact aren't opposites.
The organizations doing the most important work in the world are too often served by the worst software and the thinnest support.
Nonprofits, associations, and the companies that serve them control real budgets and reach millions of people. Yet the tools built for them are chronically dated, under-resourced, and treated as an afterthought by the broader technology market. It is one of the largest under-tooled markets in software, and mainstream venture has largely walked past it.
We didn't reach that conviction from a spreadsheet. We reached it by building. Over fourteen years Foundry for Good has started and scaled seven companies in this economy, from Double the Donation, now embedded in tens of thousands of nonprofits, to Getting Attention, Nexus Marketing, and Tradewing. Together they are profitable businesses serving more than 8,000 clients across the sector.
The studio is our investment arm: how we do it again, on purpose. We build companies to solve specific, unserved problems, acquire businesses we can compound, and back both with the capital, people, and distribution that took fourteen years to assemble. Permanent capital, no fund cycle: held for the long haul.
Three moves, one conviction.
Begin with a customer we can name
Every venture, built or acquired, starts from a specific, unserved problem and a buyer we already understand: not a technology looking for a use. Purpose isn't the marketing layer; it's the wedge.
Fund the company, back the founder
We invest in the people as much as the business: real capital behind proven leaders, so a founding team can build full-time from day one without betting their savings.
Compound on what already works
New ventures plug into a fourteen-year platform: a 100+ person team in the Philippines, an owned network of domains, and 500+ partners: so they scale on proven rails instead of building from zero.
Business and impact aren't opposites.
The old story says you either build a real company or you do good in the world. We've never believed it. A durable, profitable business is the most reliable engine of impact there is: it can hire, invest, and keep serving its customers long after a grant runs out.
So we build and hold companies that are financially serious precisely because the mission is serious. Profit is what lets a venture keep its promises: to its customers, to its team, and to the causes its software ultimately serves.
See how we put it to work.
A thesis is only as good as the model behind it. See how permanent capital, founder ownership, and the studio platform turn conviction into a company.
