About the Foundry
The Foundry is a collaborative organization for Internet law and policy professionals who are passionate about disruptive innovation. The Foundry offers members a platform for professional development, constructive debate, and network-building within a cohort of skilled attorneys and policy analysts eager to help shape the development of Internet law and policy.
Who We Are
We are more than a little bit geeky — just as comfortable with computer code as with the U.S. Code. We revel in the disruption at the intersection of law and technological innovation. Working on cutting-edge tech policy and law issues and referred by the most prominent legal and policy centers in America, our members and fellows are the vanguard of the burgeoning Internet law and policy ecosystem.
