Frequently Asked Questions

What is Built by Foundry?

Built by Foundry builds, launches, and runs digital businesses for content creators. You bring the audience, we build everything else: the product, the marketing, the optimization. Most businesses start as a subscription mobile app, but depending on your plan they expand to include landing pages, email sequences, content creation, and more.

Who is Built by Foundry for?

Creators who are done renting their audience to brand deals and ready to own a business. Our creators range from 10K to 75 million followers across every niche: fitness, cooking, education, music, gaming, parenting, finance, spirituality, and more. No minimum follower count. What matters is an engaged audience and a clear niche.

What does Built by Foundry actually build for me?

A complete digital business. Every plan includes a custom subscription mobile app, App Store listing, push notifications, analytics, and ongoing optimization. Ember adds a landing page, email nurture sequence, and UGC content concepts. Foundry adds daily optimization, the Fan Newsletter, and app-to-web checkout. Crucible adds full content creation, social posting, ad management, and brand deal prospecting. The higher the plan, the more of the business we run.

What makes Built by Foundry different from Kajabi, Stan, or hiring an agency?

Other platforms give you tools and wish you luck. You still build everything yourself. Agencies charge $30K to $100K upfront, take months, and walk away. Built by Foundry builds your entire business in about three weeks. You own the business from day one. We earn a share of revenue, so our incentives are identical to yours: we are in it with you for the long run, not a build-and-bounce.

How does the revenue share work?

You keep 75 to 85% of net revenue depending on your plan. Ember is 75/25, Foundry is 80/20, Crucible is 85/15. Net revenue means what’s left after Apple or Google takes their marketplace fee. The revenue share keeps our incentives tied to your growth: the better your app performs, the better we do.

What do I own?

You own your app-specific code, your brand, your content, and your data. Built by Foundry owns the platform technology that powers it. After your portability period, you can export your code and data with 30 days’ notice.

How long does it take to launch?

About three weeks from signup to the App Store. We build you a working prototype you can try on your own phone before anything goes live, iterate together until it’s ready, then handle submission and launch.

What’s the commitment?

Every plan is month-to-month with a 30-day money-back guarantee. If Built by Foundry isn't the right fit within the first 30 days, contact support for a full refund. After that, cancel anytime.
