You build. We'll carry the rest.
You have an attic full of ideas and the skills to ship any of them. What kills your side projects is never the code: it's the naming paralysis, the empty landing page, the marketing you keep meaning to do after the next refactor. Foothold Foundry exists so you can stay in the editor while the venture around your code still gets done.
The repo is done and nobody knows
Shipping to zero users is the developer's classic ending. The Grow stage writes your launch plan, your Show HN and Product Hunt copy, and honest outreach to the communities already complaining about the problem you solved. You approve every send; nothing goes out on its own.
Validation feels like someone else's job
Run the Concept tools in an afternoon: competitive field mapped, market sized with the method shown, pricing anchored to comparables, riskiest assumptions ranked with cheap tests. It reads like a code review for your idea: blunt, specific, and cheaper than building the wrong thing.
Specs live in your head
The virtual PM turns your intent into requirements as reviewable records; the virtual CTO writes architecture decision records with tradeoffs you can argue with. Approve, edit, or reject each one. It is the PRD and ADR discipline you'd want from a team, without the meetings.
Marketing tools feel like enterprise sludge
No node-wiring mazes, no funnels-of-funnels. Campaigns are deliberate batches you compile, preview, and trigger. Sending rides your own SES identity, so your deliverability reputation is yours. The whole surface respects that you can read a config file.
Pairs with your coding agent
Foothold Foundry deliberately writes everything but the code. Work up the venture here, then export the Launch Packet: a structured docs tree with README, requirements, architecture decisions, brand, and copy. Hand it to Claude Code, Cursor, or your own hands, and the build starts from a real brief instead of a vibe.
This is you if
- You have more ideas than weekends and want the next one to actually launch.
- You'd rather review a PRD than write one, and rather approve outreach than compose it.
- You want the marketing done without becoming a marketer.
Bring the idea. Keep the code. The rest is covered, from one place.
