THE FINTECH FOUNDRY METHOD

Five decisions. One path to launch.

A structured five-stage methodology to take you from concept to a launch-ready business.

  1. 1. Model

    Design the challenge: entry models, profit targets, drawdown rules, pricing and the economics behind payouts.

    A one-page business model and unit-economics view.

  2. 2. Structure

    Choose the structure that suits your markets and marketing model, and understand the regulatory question around it.

    A jurisdiction and structure shortlist, with open questions.

  3. 3. Build

    Specify the platform, risk engine, data feeds and payment stack, and how they work together.

    A vendor and technology stack plan.

  4. 4. Launch

    Plan acquisition, onboarding, support and the operating rhythm of a live prop business.

    A 90-day launch roadmap with milestones.

  5. 5. Scale

    Stress-test payout behaviour, margin and the numbers behind scaling intake.

    A readiness checklist for your next stage of growth.

Choose the right level of support for your stage.
