The creator-business opportunity

Home freeze-dryer owners often keep settings across notebooks, labels, videos, and memory. Brandon's expertise was useful, but followers still had to reconstruct the right settings while standing at the machine.

The product Built by Foundry created

Freeze Dry Buddy turns that recurring workflow into software: record the details of a run, find what worked before, start with Brandon's guidance, and maintain a visible record of preserved food.

Core product capabilities

  • Detailed freeze-dry batch logging
  • Reusable settings and creator-authored recipe guidance
  • Searchable batch history for comparing results
  • A visual pantry record tied to completed batches

What Built by Foundry handled

  • Mapped Brandon's practical workflow into a structured product specification
  • Designed the batch log, recipe, history, and pantry systems
  • Built and published the iOS application
  • Runs ongoing product maintenance and post-launch optimization
