About Us - Found Industries

From NASA to the frontlines of revitalizing heavy industry

Found Industries was born from a simple conviction shaped by our CEO Peter Godart’s early work at NASA: real progress comes from working within constraints, not ignoring them. In the most extreme environments, you make what already exists do more.

That same truth applies on Earth. We are not short on energy or critical metals. They are already embedded in today’s industrial processes. The problem is not supply. It’s perspective.

Found Industries applies battle-tested, constraints-based thinking to solve the hardest problems across energy and materials supply chains fast. No rebuilding. No speculative bets. Tactical innovation, deployed by industry veterans, unlocking hidden potential in the infrastructure we already have.

Look again.
Solutions are hiding in plain sight.
