Sick of AI doomerism but also keenly aware of reality? Us too, so we decided to do something about it. AI has forever changed software. It’s easier than ever to ship, but much harder to know what actually needs fixing. And even worse, there is a growing disconnect between folks in non-tech industries dealing with painful, daily headaches that AI can solve now and builders who can create solutions, but don’t know which problems actually matter. That’s the gap we’re closing with Foundations NEXT. It’s a simple pitch: bring the real problem. No deck, no startup BS, just the operational pain you live with. We’ll share it with AI-native builders at Foundations who can poke at it, refine it, and maybe build something useful. Best of all, they’ll build it with you. For free. And if it becomes something bigger, we’ll partner with you. To operators who keep muttering “this shouldn’t be this hard” take a look and drop a problem if it fits @ fndtns.org/next
