Investment Thesis

Foundry invests in both startups and venture funds to create a “symbiotic network that propels innovation.” Their VC approach emphasizes long-term thinking and a “give first” mentality: they aim to support entrepreneurs not just with capital but through an interconnected, reciprocal network of portfolio companies, partner funds, and founders. The firm frames its mission as larger than individual investors or the firm itself, seeking to “champion entrepreneurship and innovation for a better society” by building relationships based on reciprocity and trust.

Focus statement

Foundry focuses on early-stage technology investments, participates in select growth rounds, and also invests in and supports the next generation of venture fund managers—operating both as a direct investor in companies and as an investor in venture funds.

Value Add

Operates a deliberately "symbiotic network" (the Foundry Network) that connects portfolio companies and partner funds so members "share in knowledge, resources, and relationships on an unprecedented scale."
Dual strategy: invests in startups and in venture funds/ fund managers (explicitly "invests in startups and venture funds" and "identifying and supporting the next generation of venture fund managers").
Cultural emphasis on active, practical support (e.g., producing operational content like their "Manifesto on Board Meetings" and highlighting hands-on partner involvement with portfolio companies like Whoop and JumpCloud).
Explicit commitment to non-financial contributions — "give first" ethos — and long-term, conscientious engagement with founders and the ecosystem.
Scale and track record: founded 2007, manages more than $3 billion and has invested in hundreds of companies and dozens of venture funds.
