This is what happens
when builders get
the right infrastructure.
The proof that Comet Foundry works. Not promises. Not pitch decks. Numbers, companies, and people — documented every semester, at every chapter.
receipts, not claims.By the numbers.
Updated every semester. Cumulative across all chapters.
The receipts are being written.
Comet Foundry Chapter 01 launched in 2026. The first semester is underway. The first cohort is forming.
Outcomes are not invented. They are documented. Every semester, at every chapter, we record what actually happened — what got built, who got hired, which teams stayed together, which companies raised money.
The first Demo Day is Fall 2026. The first outcomes will be documented here the week after.
Come back then. Or be part of what gets documented.
What we measure.
Outcomes are only worth tracking if you track the right things. These are the metrics that matter at Comet Foundry — not attendance, not events run, not members joined.
Things that exist in the world after a semester ends. Products, prototypes, v1s, launched projects. Not slide decks. Not ideas. Things that run.
Companies formally started by Comet Foundry builders — incorporated, operating, and building something real beyond the semester arc.
Full time roles, internships, and contract positions created by CF-born startups for the next generation of builders.
Founding teams that met inside a Comet Foundry chapter and went on to build something together. The most valuable outcome we can produce.
Funding raised by CF-born startups — pre-seed, seed, and beyond. The financial proof that what gets built here is worth backing.
CF builders placed into internships at partner companies, CF-born startups, and ecosystem companies through the Comet Foundry network.
Semester by semester.
Every semester, every chapter publishes an outcomes report. This is the archive.
| SEMESTER | CHAPTER | REPORT |
|---|---|---|
| Fall 2026 | UTD · Chapter 01 | ◌ PENDING · AFTER DEMO DAY |
Reports published within two weeks of each Demo Day.
From the builders themselves.
The first builder story will be published after Demo Day. Fall 2026.
This section will hold first-person accounts from CF builders — what they built, what they learned, where it went. Not marketing copy. Their words.
The flywheel.
BUILDERS BUILD THINGS
Every semester, Comet Foundry builders ship real products — not class projects, not case studies. Real things that solve real problems.
BUILDS BECOME STARTUPS
Some of those builds become companies. Those companies hire from the same community that built them. The network compounds.
STARTUPS FUEL THE NEXT COHORT
CF-born startups post roles on /careers. They mentor the next cohort. They come back to Demo Day as guests. The flywheel completes.
