The Foundery Venture Builder Cohort 02

An intensive 90-day residential venture builder program that forges entrepreneurs into co-founders and builds consumer businesses with up to ₹4 crores in capital.

The Foundery is a unique venture builder designed to forge entrepreneurs into successful co-founders and build ground-breaking companies from the ground up. Unlike traditional accelerators or incubators, The Foundery operates on an intensive 90-day residential model where selected co-founders collaborate with experienced operators and specialist teams. The program is specifically structured to take a business from an initial thesis to a market-ready launch.

This initiative is a joint venture by WTF Media and Think9, bringing together a powerful network of industry leaders and mentors. Noteworthy figures like Kishore Biyani, Nikhil Kamath, and Ronnie Screwvala are associated, alongside mentors such as Rajan Anandan and Arjun Vaidya. The Foundery's model integrates ideas, capital, infrastructure, and seasoned operators in a single, immersive environment. It draws concepts from its "Idea Vault" or welcomes existing early-stage business ideas, providing the necessary capital to transition from thesis to launch.

The program emphasizes clarity through guidance from experienced builders and fosters a strong community among co-founders. A culture of pace, pressure, and trust is instilled to facilitate effective and rapid company building. Its environmental pillars focus on "Story" for brand and consumer strategy, "Speed" leveraging AI and technology, and "Spine" for scaling and infrastructure development, ensuring a holistic approach to venture creation.
