“This is an entirely new approach to making metals,” says CEO Jake Guglin.
Companies building next-generation products are often limited by the physical constraints of traditional materials. In aerospace, defense, energy, and industrial tooling, pushing those constraints introduces possible failure points into the system. Unfortunately, companies don’t have better options, given that producing new materials at scale involves multiyear timelines and huge expenses.

Foundation Alloy wants to break the mold. The company, founded by a team from MIT, is capable of producing a new class of ultrahigh-performance metal alloys using a novel production process that doesn’t rely on melting raw materials. The company’s solid-state metallurgy technology, which simplifies development and manufacturing of next-generation alloys, was developed over many years of research by former MIT professor Chris Schuh and collaborators.
