Stacking Atoms

"Stacking Atoms" is a series by Foundamental that explores construction's unique processes, hidden workflows, and unwritten rules across different segments and global markets. We don't aim to perfectly describe every detail, but rather to spotlight insights that help founders and innovators connect with construction experts around relevant workflows, removing unknown-unknowns and providing terminology that bridges innovation and industry expertise.

The Daily Blueprint

The Daily Blueprint is Foundamental's daily newsletter covering everything AEC tech globally — from startup funding and M&A to product launches, partnerships, regulation shifts, and industry trends across Asia-Pacific, Europe, and the Americas. It's the daily signal on what's shaping the future of how we design, build, and operate the real world, while most competitors focus solely on the US market.

The Foundamentary

In what might be a world premiere - a VC firm allowing an external documentary team inside - Foundamental’s General Partners sit down with the Bricks & Bytes Documentary team for an unfiltered view into our ‘kitchen’.

From Foundamental’s unique origin story, over controversial takes on the future of AECS and venture, to the philosophies powering Foundamental’s decisions and portfolio success, this documentary series offers a first-of-its-kind behind the scenes access to the people, strategies, and hard-earned learnings of Foundamental.
