Foundry Spring 2026. Explained.
Carnegie Mellon's premier startup accelerator for serious founders.
January 15, 2026 · 1 min read
Foundry is Carnegie Mellon's startup accelerator, run by ScottyLabs. Launched in Fall 2025, our first 9 pre-seed teams raised $1.55M in VC funding in four months.
We support top CMU teams with VC access, experienced founders, weekly networking, accountability, and practical startup resources.
Spring 2026 includes:
- Up to 15 teams
- 20+ VC talks
- Founder talks
- Weekly networking sessions
- Direct connections to startup resources
Foundry takes no equity.
We ask that every team member can commit 30+ hours/week and fully engage with the program. If that fits, we'd like to meet you.
