A co-creation studio for real-world technology.
We bring operators, investors, and builders together to create AI-native products that solve real operational challenges.
Our shareholders don't hire us — they join us, and share exposure to everything we create.
A shared innovation arm for forward-looking investors.
What The Foundry Is.
The Foundry is a co-creation studio owned by operators, investors, and builders who want to solve real problems with speed and clarity.
We are not an agency and we don't take mandates. Our shareholders don't commission projects. They join a collective studio that continuously looks for opportunities, builds solutions, and deploys them into real businesses.
Operator insight, AI-native engineering, and shared upside sit under one roof.
Shared Studio
A single studio building a portfolio of solutions, not one-off projects.
Real Context
Owned by operators who bring real data, real workflows, and real operational pain points.
Collective Upside
Shareholders benefit from all products created inside the studio.
How We Build.
From opportunity to working product — in weeks, not years.
Listen
We start with operators inside our network. We map real workflows, inefficiencies, and constraints.
Prototype
We design and build focused prototypes using AI-native tools and small, senior teams.
Deploy
We deploy into real operations as early as possible to generate feedback and data.
Decide
If a solution works, we keep improving it or prepare it to be spun out. Either way, shareholders share the upside.
Keep using it. Iterate. Extract value from improved operations.
Spin out as a venture. All investors share in equity upside.
Led by Seifallah Zoghbi.
Seif has spent more than two decades working across industries where operational complexity is the norm — healthcare, logistics, education, manufacturing, and technology. He has founded companies, built products, and led transactions across the Middle East, always working closely with operators who understand the realities on the ground.
What he learned is simple: most industries know the problems they need to solve, but rarely have the structure, speed, or talent to build the solutions.
The Foundry exists to change that — a studio where operators, builders, and investors work side-by-side to create technology with real deployment from day one.
If you want to build with us, let's talk.
We're intentional about who joins our studio — whether as an investor, operator, entrepreneur, or builder.
If you're interested in being part of a collective that builds high-impact technology with real users and real deployment, the first step is a conversation.
