Foundry Innovations Information

What if students could graduate not just with a degree — but with a company they built, customers they serve, and investors behind them? Our Vision is to build the largest public benefit startup factory for under represented college entrepreneurs. Established as a Public Benefit Company, Foundry empowers students by creating structured entrepreneurial opportunities and unlocking access to risk capital which may otherwise seem out of reach. Through our Spark program, we foster career pathways, workforce development, local economic activity, and positive social impact for colleges, universities, and their surrounding communities. We are on a mission to create 100K student entrepreneurs who generate over 1M jobs and incorporate 1000 companies.
