Three steps to your first real conversation.
2

3
Connect and get unstuck
Founders find you by stage and industry. Connect with one click, trade feedback, and keep shipping.
Why Founders Switch
Your story is scattered across five tools. Bring it under one roof.
Link-in-bio toolLinkedIn profileClosed communities
The scattered stack
Links in one app, network in another, and the best founder communities locked behind an application. Fragmented branding, zero discoverability, and nowhere to ask for honest help.

FAQ
Do I need an invite?
No. Foundryard is open — no application, no waitlist, no closed community. Claim your username and you're in.
How is this different from LinkedIn?
LinkedIn is everyone's network, built around résumés. Foundryard is founders-only: profiles built around what you're actually building, a discovery feed you can filter by stage and industry, and no engagement bait.
Do I need a live product to join?
No. Plenty of founders here are pre-launch or pre-revenue — mark a project as MVP or Building and share where you're at. Foundryard isn't just for people with something to show off; it's for people who want help getting there.
What does the analytics dashboard show?
Profile views over time, click-through rate on each of your links, and network growth — so you can see who's engaging with your page. Free accounts get live counters; Premium unlocks the full dashboard.
