Our mission
You bring the audience and expertise. We build the product and the engine that turns it into lasting revenue.
Why we exist
People trust you. That trust is worth so much more than any brand deal will ever pay you for it.
Your method, your taste, your help. They're already asking. Some would pay every month.
It means developers, designers, product decisions, months of work, and money up front, all before you know if it works.
Sponsorships pay once and build nothing. You start every month at zero.

Why I built BUILT BY FOUNDRY
I spent two years at TikTok as a product manager on creator tools, working directly with full-time creators. I watched people with real expertise and loyal audiences get pushed into brand deals that built nothing lasting. Then a creator asked me to turn their audience into an app on a three-week timeline. We built it, it worked, and that's the company now.
How it works
We learn your audience, what they need, and design the perfect product for them.
Our team creates your custom product (you approve everything, zero technical work required).
Your product goes live. Your fans download it, play it, and pay for it. You start earning, together.
We build the product, then we grow the business. Launch is day one. Everything after is where the real money is made.
The deal
You own the business: the brand, the users, the data, the revenue. All yours. BUILT BY FOUNDRY owns the platform technology that powers it, and our revenue share keeps us permanently aligned with your success. We only earn when you earn.
3 weeks from idea to launch.
It's your app, your brand, your vision. You have final say on everything. We handle the execution.
We find the business your audience and expertise uniquely position you to own, then our team builds and operates it with you.
Proof
“They built my app in 2 weeks, and all I had to do was show up as myself. I went from cat mom to founder.”

FAQ
A done-for-you business building and operations company for creators. We turn audience expertise into a recurring-revenue business the creator owns. Most start as a subscription app or game, and the portfolio also includes physical products and B2B software.
Established content creators, influencers, and creator teams with an engaged audience, repeat audience needs, and the ambition to build an owned recurring-revenue business.
Whatever their audience will actually pay for. That is usually a subscription mobile app or game, because it converts fastest and reaches people through the App Store. It has also been a cookbook, and software sold to operators in a creator's industry rather than to their followers.
Audience research, product strategy, validation, design, development, pricing, store or commerce preparation, and launch planning.
Product updates, pricing and onboarding tests, retention work, store listing updates, customer support systems, and growth experiments. The business keeps improving after day one.
Creators own the product-specific code, brand, content, customer data, customer relationship, revenue, and business upside. BUILT BY FOUNDRY owns the underlying platform technology.
About three weeks from a validated concept to launch, depending on product scope, creator approvals, and App Store review where a store is involved.
Agencies hand over a build and an invoice. DIY tools leave the creator running product, engineering, QA, launch, and growth alone. BUILT BY FOUNDRY stays as the long-term product and growth operator and shares in revenue.
Bring the audience and expertise. We'll bring the product, the launch, and the operating engine.
