Focused On Small So The Impact Is Big

Helping Austin-based Business Leaders Grow their business, Inspire their teams, and Influence the city.

As business owners, we remember what it was like to launch with high hopes and brilliant ideas. We saw opportunities around us to create change in the world through our business, but navigating organizational challenges and bottom line demands quickly became discouraging and have left us distracted us from “our why”.

Our Mission

As a ministry extension of the Austin Bridge Builders Alliance, The Foundry is committed to fostering mentoring relationships to help small business leaders achieve profitability, develop healthy teams, and create kingdom impact in the city by doing good in Jesus’ name.

Because of this, we help uncover solutions to the unique challenges each business owner faces so they can fully realize the vision God has for them through their business.

Specific Solutions For Unique Challenges

At The Foundry, we understand that your business faces unique challenges that require specific solutions. That's why we offer more than just content – our experienced advisors have walked the same road you are traveling and will accompany you on your journey. What's more, our advisors are part of a vibrant community of Christ-followers who can provide support and guidance tailored to the distinct obstacles you encounter.

Insights To Grow Revenue

Valuable insights often stem from diverse perspectives. Our advisors, along with your fellow cohort members, come from various industries and possess a wealth of real-world experiences.

Our companies are tools that God has entrusted us with to bless our communities.

The Impact...

We moved here just after Covid and community has been difficult. I didn’t really feel seen or known until this Foundry cohort. The Foundry has helped me learn so much about myself. Your affirmation and encouragement has been so meaningful, and the acumen was so good. This is trustworthy knowledge, and as a leader, it has been an awakening for me and I treasure these relationships!
