Founder Program · 2026
Shape the next three months.
Foreman is new. The product is real and working, but the sharpest version of it will be the one shaped by five or ten teams — document controllers, BIM managers, QA leads, information managers, project directors, and the clients who receive their work — who use it seriously on live projects and tell us the truth.

Whatever your role, there's a version of this for you.
Foreman sits across the whole document workflow — from the consultant uploading a drawing to the client accepting handover. Every role below has a dedicated page explaining how Foreman changes the week. Pick the one that fits; that's the lens we'll use when we talk.

Note · 04 / 04 · Set expectations
It's not broken software in search of testers.
This isn't a beta in the broken-software sense — Foreman is live, the uptime commitment is the same whether you're a founding partner or full-price. It is early enough that your feedback genuinely changes what we build next.
