How The Foundry Cohort Works

This is where decisions start to matter

This is where founders tend to:

  • Over-design and under-decide
  • Lock in packaging before positioning
  • Price emotionally, not commercially
  • Choose channels too early
  • Spend money fixing the wrong problem

By the time this becomes clear, undoing it is expensive.

This is a 6-week live cohort for product founders who need to make irreversible decisions
and want to get them right before committing more money.

It’s small, practical, and decision-led.

The next step is a short fit check not a sales call.

The 6 Week Structure

Each session combines structured guidance with live discussion and real decision review.

1

Decide if this product should exist

Before more money goes out, we pressure-test the fundamentals.

This week focuses on:

  • Demand vs assumptions
  • Market reality vs founder bias
  • Defining clear kill criteria


The goal is not encouragement -It’s clarity.

2

Decide where this product actually sits

Most product businesses stall because they try to be everything.

This week focuses on:

  • What shelf you’re really on
  • Who this product is actually for
  • Why vague positioning kills momentum


You should leave knowing who you’re building for and who you’re not.

3

Decide what to stop, not what to optimise

This is where founders quietly burn cash.

This week focuses on:

  • Product and packaging decisions that are hard to undo
  • MOQ risk
  • Materials, formats, and unnecessary complexity


The aim is to avoid locking in decisions that quietly limit you later.

4

Choose a price that actually works

Pricing mistakes don’t show up immediately.
They show up when it’s too late.

This week focuses on:

  • Why founders underprice
  • DTC vs retail maths
  • Margin reality checks


You should leave with pricing you can defend, not just justify.

5

Prioritise what to focus on next

Channels are expensive. Doing everything is worse.

This week focuses on:

  • DTC vs B2B vs marketplaces
  • Sampling, ads, PR - what makes sense now
  • What to ignore for the moment


The goal is momentum without chaos.

6

Choose what happens next

This is where everything comes together.

By the end of this week, you’ll have:

  • A clear plan to move forward
  • Or a clear decision to change direction
  • Or permission to stop before spending more


No ambiguity.
No “almost ready”.

Before you click

This isn’t a sales call.


You won’t be pitched or pressured.
If it’s not a fit, I’ll tell you directly.
You’ll leave with clarity either way.
