The Edge of Innovation. The Strength of Execution.
Where strategy meets innovation, impact scales. In 2023, Silicon Foundry became a Kearney company, combining our deep roots in the venture ecosystem and corporate-startup collaborations with nearly a century of global consulting expertise. This partnership pairs unmatched access to emerging technologies, start-ups, and strategic deal flow with Kearney’s world-class execution, operational scale, and transformation muscle.
From inspiration to action. This partnership bridges the best of both worlds: Silicon Foundry surfaces what’s next; Kearney designs and guides the execution. Whether launching strategic pilots, investing in game-changing startups, or identifying M&A targets, we help clients move from early signal to enterprise-scale adoption, faster, smarter, and with greater confidence.
A global lens, with venture-driven expertise. Our clients don’t just stay ahead of market shifts, they help shape them. As a Kearney company, Silicon Foundry has a global reach across a wide range of industries, as well as access to deep functional and sector expertise. Matched with a highly curated network and real-time market intelligence from the front lines, we empower clients in anticipating and responding to the volatility of the modern business landscape.
