04 / Mission
Back the work.
Build alongside it.
1749 Foundry backs three things: service and home-service businesses that treat their work as a craft and leave customers feeling the difference; businesses rooted in New Jersey; and exceptional founders with the conviction to build something lasting.
We do not work from the sidelines. We get in the field, put pen to paper, solve the hard problems, and do the work alongside the people we back.
05 / Vision
Build the next thing that lasts.
We believe the next generation of enduring companies will be built by people close to the work. From trades and home services to advanced technology, we exist to help those people raise the standard around them.
06 / Start something
Bring us something
worth building.
If the work is exceptional, the founder is undeniable, or the business is proudly Jersey, we should talk.
