Who I am#
I’m Weston Bell-Geddes, the founder of Built by Foundry and a product strategist who builds recurring-revenue digital businesses for creators. My work sits at the intersection of creator economy product strategy, software, distribution, and durable monetization.
Before Built by Foundry, I shipped games that went viral, built mission-critical software at NASA, and led AR/VR product at TikTok.
I am primary inventor on 5 patents, spanning physics simulation, augmented reality, and content recommendation systems — one granted, four published applications.
What I’m doing now#
Building Built by Foundry, a product studio for creators that identifies, builds, launches, and scales recurring-revenue digital products. The ideal partner is an established creator or creator-led business with trusted distribution and a repeated audience problem worth turning into software.
See the Built by Foundry case studies for public evidence, or use the creator app review to evaluate a potential partnership.
