Scaling shouldn't feel like surviving.

You’re wearing too many hats, stuck in firefighting mode.

You’re not even sure where your time is going.  And your profit margins? 

If you’re lucky you see “current” numbers at the end of every month.  

Foundry Solutions exists for founders in the messy middle.  I have been there.  I’ve made the mistakes, built the systems, redesigned the roles, and rebuilt trust from the inside out.  Now I help business owners and leaders do that same work with clarity and calm.

I was in your shoes...

Jake Lair

Founder & Business Co-Pilot

I started FOUNDRY because I know what it’s like to be the decision-maker, the culture holder, and the system all in one. From managing nuclear ops to leading teams across manufacturing and hospitality—I’ve lived through systems breaking, clarity vanishing, and chaos creeping in.

If you’re anything like me, the last thing I want to hear is another set of leadership buzzwords or (even worse) some plug-and-play, one-size-fits-all shiny strategy that someone is promising will “fix” all my problems. In fact, bring that used-car salesman, guru sounding jargon my way and I’m out.

I just wanted something that would work for me.  A solution that met me where I was at, worked for the team I was leading, and ultimately helped me find three things: clarity through data, an aligned team, and systems that actually supported me (instead of getting in my way as they so often did).

That’s the mission behind FOUNDRY Solutions.  The tools I offer I designed for myself directly from the lessons I’ve learned throughout my career.  I meet you where you are at, make sure I have a sold understanding of your team and business, and then work by your side to find the right solutions to the challenges slowing your growth.

What's slowing your growth?
