We're reinventing the cloud for AI
Foundry exists to make cloud compute more accessible, efficient, and powerful for AI developers.
Our purpose
We believe that infrastructure must be simple, powerful, and universally accessible to achieve the best possible future for AI. Teams building AI systems shouldn’t need to become hardware experts and spend their time capacity planning. We are striving for a future where any developer can access the compute resources required to make breakthroughs at the forefront of AI.
Who we are
Founded by alumni from Google DeepMind’s core Deep Learning Team and Stanford’s computer science PhD program, we are a group of researchers, engineers, economic experts, and go-to-market leaders with rare depth spanning ML theory, distributed systems, and financial modeling.

Our core values and maxims
Tensegrity
Harmonize opposing elements
Tensegrity is core to Foundry’s approach, harmonizing rigidity and flexibility to innovate and solve problems creatively. Rather than choosing between option A or B, we strive to discover the powerful option C. We craft unique operating rhythms that embody this balance, and we embrace deliberate thinking to navigate complexities with agility, turning challenges into opportunities.
Clarity
Find the signal in the noise
We aim to navigate chaos and complexity with grace, always centering around our goals and the truth. Through clear, intentional, and ego-free communication, we prioritize effective collaboration and solution-finding over being right. We're committed to making the intricate understandable, always with a mindset of seeking truth and fostering understanding.
Energy
Cultivate a bias for action
Our culture is vibrant, characterized by a bias for action and a growth mindset. We celebrate teamwork, proactive leadership, and the unique contributions of every team member, understanding that making mistakes is part of learning and growth. We're dedicated to nurturing a work environment where initiative is valued, and everyone feels empowered to contribute.
Ambition
We choose to go to Mars
Ambition fuels us to pursue bold ideas and celebrate growth at every turn. We create a safe space for innovation, backed by resources and support, encouraging exploration and the pursuit of lofty goals. Our drive for excellence is relentless, aiming to exceed expectations through quality and innovation, making the impossible possible.
