FoundryAI: Validate ideas before resources are at risk.
An AI-enabled discovery and validation support system for entrepreneurship support organizations. Help founders pressure-test concepts, identify blind spots, and build readiness—before they pitch, apply, or commit.
Early-stage validation is broken.
Founders commit time, money, and resources before discovering fatal flaws. By the time they realize the idea won't work, they've burned months and thousands of dollars.
"Talk to customers" and "validate your market" are true but useless without structure. Founders don't know what questions to ask or how to interpret the answers.
Accelerators and business development agencies can't provide deep validation feedback to every applicant. Manual reviews don't scale, and most founders need help before they're ready for formal programs.
FoundryAI: A validation system, not just a chatbot.
Structured validation support that scales.
For Entrepreneurs
- Pressure-test business concepts through structured dialogue
- Identify blind spots in market assumptions, business model, and execution readiness
- Get AI-driven feedback on concept viability before committing resources
- Build clarity on what needs validation (and how to validate it)
- Understand readiness for next steps (pitching, applying for funding, building MVP)
For Support Organizations
- Scale validation support without adding headcount
- Pre-qualify applicants before human review
- Provide structured feedback to founders who aren't ready for programs yet
- Generate insights on common validation gaps across cohorts
- Track founder progress and readiness over time
How It's Different
Not a generic chatbot
FoundryAI uses research-backed frameworks from EU and Canadian entrepreneurship studies to guide founders through structured discovery.
Not a replacement for humans
It's a pre-filter and readiness builder. Founders who complete validation conversations are better prepared for human mentors and programs.
Not one-size-fits-all
Customizable for your organization's methodology, program requirements, and regional context.
Built for organizations that support early-stage founders.
Pre-screen applicants before cohort selection. Founders who complete FoundryAI validation are better prepared for structured programs—and you spend less time on unready applications.
Provide validation support to founders who aren't ready for formal programs yet. Help them build readiness before they apply for funding or mentorship.
Scale founder support across rural and underserved regions. FoundryAI provides structured validation where 1:1 support isn't available.
From concept to clarity in 3 phases.
Discovery Dialogue
Founders engage with FoundryAI in a structured conversation. The system asks targeted questions about their idea, market, customers, and execution plan.
Validation Feedback
FoundryAI identifies gaps, blind spots, and areas requiring validation. Founders get specific, actionable guidance on what to test and how to test it.
Readiness Assessment
The system evaluates readiness for next steps (pitching, funding applications, MVP development) and provides a clear roadmap for improvement.
