About

What is Foundry

Foundry surfaces proprietary intent signals from IT buyers across its network of trusted tech publishers, then applies AI scoring to rank and prioritize accounts for marketing and sales teams. It is built for mid-market and enterprise B2B companies — specifically marketing teams and account executives selling into technology buyers — who need to identify in-market accounts before competitors do. The standout capability is its ability to build and deploy AI agents and automations on top of that intent data, connecting scoring outputs directly into CRM workflows via API or Microsoft 365 and Azure AI integrations. Where Foundry is less suited is for teams outside the technology vertical — its publisher network and intent signals are concentrated in IT and tech, so coverage thins considerably outside that buyer universe.

Our verdict

Vanderbuild take

Foundry sits squarely in the intent signals and account research category, and it's one of the few tools in this space with a publisher-owned data moat — the intent signals come from first-party behavior on its own IT media properties, not scraped or co-op data. On the agentic readiness front, API access is confirmed and the platform supports building AI agents and automations natively, so you can wrap Foundry's scoring outputs into your own MCP layer or orchestration stack without much friction. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, which means you're looking at a sales-led process — budget accordingly for procurement cycles, especially at enterprise scale. The honest limitation here is vertical depth: if your ICP extends beyond IT and technology buyers, Foundry's intent coverage gets patchy fast, and you'll likely need a second data source to fill the gaps.
