Every founder has been there—you have a great product idea, maybe even a clear vision of where you want it to go. But turning that idea into a real, functioning product? That’s where things get tricky. Maybe you don’t have a technical co-founder, or hiring an experienced development team is way out of your budget. Maybe you’ve considered offshore developers but worry about quality and delays. Sound familiar?

This is exactly why Buildly Foundry exists—to help startups launch faster, build smarter, and scale efficiently. It provides AI-driven development tools, a structured 3-month process, and a community of experts, advisors, and potential co-founders.

Even better? The program is built around radical transparency, a philosophy that encourages open communication, smart collaboration, and a fail-fast, learn-faster mindset—all inspired by the book Radical Therapy for Software Teams. If you’re looking for a way to bring your software product to life without wasting months (or years) figuring things out, this might just be what you need.

The Startup Struggle: Why Founders Need Help

Building a software product isn’t just about having a great idea. Founders often run into three key problems:

1. The Technical Gap

You might have a strong vision, but executing it requires skilled developers. Finding a technical co-founder is tough, and offering competitive salaries and benefits is even harder.

2. Limited Resources & High Costs

Startups need to be lean. You want to build an MVP without burning through your savings or giving up too much equity. Working with junior or offshore developers can be risky—slow timelines, miscommunications, and subpar quality can stall your progress.

3. Scalability & Market Readiness

Even if you build a product, can you scale it? Can you attract investors, secure funding, and find the right partners? Too many startups fail because they don’t have the right resources at the right time.

Buildly Foundry is designed to solve all of these problems.

What is Buildly Foundry?

Buildly Foundry is a 3-month accelerator program designed to take startups from idea to Minimum Viable Product (MVP)—faster, smarter, and with less risk.

Here’s what makes it different:

✅ AI-powered development tools – Automate technical documentation, roadmap planning, budgeting etc.
✅ Free Google Cloud hosting – Save money while you build.

Instead of spending months (or years) trying to find the perfect technical team, Buildly Foundry gives you the tools, support, and network to start building right away.

The 3-Month Buildly Foundry Process

The program is designed to move fast and stay lean, helping you validate your product and find the best path to market.

Month 1: Build & Validate

• Set up your product roadmap, budget, and technical architecture in minutes using Buildly Labs.

• Connect with potential co-founders and developers through the Collab Hub.

Month 2: Find Customers & Optimize
