Courses for working operators

Learn the operating skills nobody taught you.

Foundry runs live cohorts for the skills the job assumed you already had — hiring, forecasting, pricing, and the difficult conversation. Six weeks, one shipped project, taught by operators.

  • Live cohorts of 24 — cameras on, work reviewed
  • One shipped project per course, critiqued by your instructor
  • Lifetime access to the material and the alumni room

Graduates

The work changed, not just the vocabulary.

“I rebuilt our hiring loop the week after the scorecard session — the next two hires are the best I have made. The course pays for itself in one saved mis-hire.”
R. OkaforOps lead, logistics
“The pricing memo I shipped became the actual proposal. We raised the number a third and closed it anyway.”
J. MarekFounder, studio
“Six weeks with people who do the job — I stopped reading listicles and started shipping artifacts.”
T. AhnDirector of ops, health

The courses

Four courses, one operating craft.

Each course is six weeks, built around the artifacts the job actually produces — a hiring scorecard, a pricing memo, a forecast you defend.

Hiring Without Regret

Scorecards, structured interviews, and the 30-day plan — you leave with a hiring process your next candidate actually meets.

Pricing With a Spine

Value-based pricing from the buyer’s math, not the competitor’s list price — you ship a pricing memo and defend it live.

Forecasts You Can Defend

A bottom-up model with honest error bars — built week by week until the number holds under questioning.

The Difficult Conversation

Performance, exits, and feedback — rehearsed in the room, with the scripts and the follow-through plan in writing.

How it works

Six weeks, one shipped artifact.

  1. Pick your cohort

    Cohorts start monthly, capped at 24. The placement survey puts you in a room with peers at your altitude.

  2. Weekly live sessions

    Two 90-minute sessions a week — the teaching is short, the work review is long. Cameras on; artifacts critiqued.

  3. Ship and defend

    Week six, you present the artifact to the room. Graduates keep lifetime access to the material and the alumni room.

FAQ

The questions before enrolling, answered plainly.

How much time does a course take?

About five hours a week: two live 90-minute sessions plus the artifact work. The courses are built for people with jobs — the artifacts are your real work, not homework.

What if I miss a session?

Sessions are recorded, but the live review is where the course happens — miss more than two and we move you to the next cohort free. Cohorts start monthly, so nothing is lost.

Is there a refund policy?

Full refund through the first week, no questions — if the room is not for you, one email ends it. After week one, transfers to a later cohort are always free.

Do I get a certificate?

You get the artifact, the alumni room, and a public outcome page hiring managers can read. The certificate industry is not the point; the work is.

The next cohorts start the first Monday of the month.

Twenty-four seats, one instructor who does the job daily, and an artifact with your name on it by week six.

Before you decide who to hire, I want you to know who you would be hiring.

Founder & still on the jobs · The owner

I started this business because I kept meeting people who had been let down — rushed jobs, surprise invoices, and a phone that stopped being answered the week after the deposit cleared.

So we built it the other way around. One point of contact from the first call to the final walkthrough. A written price before we start, and the same name answering the phone a year later if something needs a second look.

I will not pretend we are the biggest or the cheapest — we are the ones who show up when we say we will, charge what we quoted, and treat your home like it was ours.

P.S. — If you are comparing quotes, ask each company who exactly will be on your job. The answer tells you more than any price.
