Operator turned builder.

I'm Charlie. I've spent years doing FP&A, financial modeling, and systems work across a pretty wide range of businesses — three- statement and operating models, budgets and forecasts, sales and KPI dashboards, inventory forecasting, employee compensation and incentive plans, and unit-economics work (including a route optimization model for a trash company that priced fuel and disposal costs into every stop).

Alongside that I've worked on both sides of the table on private company transactions — buy-side and sell-side support for owners and acquirers — and spent time inside private equity on transaction support and systems integration across multiple ERPs. The common thread: the numbers have to hold up under scrutiny and the systems have to keep running on Monday morning.

Harrison Foundry is what came next: that operator experience, paired with AI-enabled development and a trusted network of technical specialists. Operator instincts help define the problem and what "good" looks like. AI tools accelerate research, prototyping, development, and iteration—and can become part of the product when they solve a real workflow problem. Engineers and other specialists join when a project needs deeper expertise in architecture, security, scale, or a particular domain. The goal is not just to produce code, but to deliver something useful, durable, and ready for the market.

We work with business owners and privately backed companies who want to move fast and innovate.

We're a plucky, can-do shop out of Houston. Polished where it counts, never pretentious, and excited to take on challenges. Outside the Foundry I produce records and play in a band — those live on the other projects page and run as their own thing.
