About

I got my start in film. but along the way, I’ve always been curious about how things work and how they can be improved. for years, I had notebooks full of product ideas but no way to build them. today, tools like cursor, codex, and claude have changed that. now I spend my time building products I want to use, working my way into the film industry, and hosting conversations with people shaping the future of entertainment and technology. building in film & technology 🎬⚡️

Which companies are building hard tech in SoCal?

Hey everyone! I built SoCal Foundry for fun while researching the market for my own deep tech startup. I wanted an easier way to see which companies are building in SoCal and what they re working on.

It s a free map and directory of Southern California companies across aerospace, defense, energy, robotics, and advanced manufacturing. I hope it becomes something the local hard tech community finds useful.

Which companies am I missing? And what would make it more useful to you? I d love for this to grow into a community where founders, investors, and people interested in hard tech can connect. Curious to hear what you think!
