What is Foothold Foundry?
Foothold Foundry is the venture operating system for AI-era founders: one place to take an idea from first spark to first customers. It handles everything but the code: validation, branding, naming, positioning, requirements, pricing, launch, outreach, and growth, so the venture around your product gets built as fast as the product itself.
I have an app idea. Where do I start?
Start by pressure-testing the idea before you build anything. Write it down, check who else solves the problem, and put a price on it. Foothold Foundry's Concept stage walks exactly that path: definition, customer discovery, competitive analysis, market sizing, pricing, and a validation scorecard. It is free to start.
I built an app with an AI coding tool. How do I get my first users?
Name it, brand it, write the landing copy, and go where your users already complain about the alternatives. Foothold Foundry's Build and Grow stages do that work: naming with availability checks, a brand kit, messaging, landing copy, a launch plan, Product Hunt and Show HN copy, and outreach you approve before anything sends.
What does "everything but the code" mean?
Foothold Foundry deliberately does not write your application code. It does the venture work around the code: validating the idea, branding it, specifying it, launching it, and growing it. Your code comes from you, your team, or an AI coding agent; the Launch Packet hands any of them a complete, structured brief.
How is Foothold Foundry different from just using ChatGPT?
A chat gives you answers that scroll away; Foothold Foundry gives you a venture that accumulates. Every tool writes into your venture's project memory, so the pricing work builds on the personas, the pitch builds on all of it, and the output is structured documents, records, and a sendable campaign, not a transcript.
Is my data used to train AI models?
No. Your data is not used to train AI models, ours or anyone's. Stronger than that: your owned data, your contact rows, lead lists, and personal information, is never sent to an external AI provider at all. AI features draft templates with placeholders; the real details merge on our servers at send time.
How much does Foothold Foundry cost?
There is a free plan with credits included every month, so you can validate an idea without paying anything. Paid plans add more credits, more ventures, and higher sending allowances, and you can buy credit packs when a big push needs them. Current prices are on the pricing page. Cancel anytime; no lock-in.
