Foundry
Foundry is Harvard Business School’s AI-native digital workspace propelling high-potential founders from early-stage ideas or research breakthroughs to launch, commercialization, and societal impact.
Great founders are everywhere. Access to the right tools, networks, and guidance is not. HBS Foundry closes that gap to bring more high-potential founders and ideas to market.

Our Bootcamps are our foundational programs for founders ready to move from raw idea to funding-ready pitch. Powered by Foundry’s AI platform, you’ll develop a business model, validate your market, and build a pitch deck in 4-8 weeks.
