HOW IT WORKS

How the program works

No technical experience required. Participants answer a short questionnaire, and the program takes it from there.

01
🏘️

Choose a service to offer

Cleaning, tutoring, yard work, pet sitting, senior check-ins, errands, mobile detailing — anything that serves neighbors or local businesses. An online reselling track is also available.

02

We build their business tools

A professional website, booking calendar, business email, and payment processing go live within days. No coding or experience needed. The program handles everything.

03
💰

They start earning

With everything in place, participants work through the training to find their first customers and start earning. The AI marketing engine helps them reach local businesses directly.

Impact in your community

This program serves people in communities like yours — including residents in San Diego County — who need a flexible, practical way to earn income — particularly those navigating job changes, re-entering the workforce, or dealing with circumstances that make traditional employment difficult.

Participants include caregivers who can't leave home, people returning from incarceration, immigrants building a new life, and people on disability working toward financial independence. Most are not looking for assistance — they're looking for a way to work.

The program gives them a website, a service offering, and the training to start finding customers.

🏠
Flexible, home-based income
Participants build businesses that work around caregiving, disabilities, transportation barriers, and nonstandard schedules.
📍
Hyperlocal by design
Service-based businesses are built to serve the participant's own neighborhood — money that stays in the local economy.
⚙️
The technical barrier is gone
AI handles the website setup, design, and copy. Participants focus on the service — not the software.
📈
Already underway
30 scholarship students actively building businesses across 15+ states. Each participant has a live profile page tracking their progress. 19 Google Workspace accounts provisioned.

  • Enrollment costs for local participants
    Grant funding covers the cost of enrollment for local residents who cannot cover the program fee on their own.
  • Platform access, hosting, and domain registration
    Covers the AI workspace, website hosting, domain name, and email address each participant uses to run their business.
  • Curriculum — 22 lessons
    Structured training covering website setup, service pricing, how to find customers, and how to get paid — in that order.
  • $200 startup card on completion
    Issued when a participant finishes the program. Used for a first ad, initial inventory, or basic operating expenses.
What participants walk away with
Each participant finishes with:

A live website at their own web address. A booking calendar customers can use to contact them. A professional email address. A completed 22-lesson curriculum. And a $200 startup card to cover their first expenses.

These are concrete items they can use the day the program ends.

I built MarketFoundry because I saw what AI tools could do for my own business — over $400K in sales last year. I wanted to give that same advantage to people who wouldn't normally have access to these tools. The goal is simple: give someone everything they need to start earning.
