Founding the Foundry
Imagined at 1O.1O.1O | Denver
Legacy Foundry was the brainchild of Legacy Foundry CEO Sean Kennedy’s team at the 2018 1O.1O.1O Health program. A startup generator focused alleviating social pain points, this 10 day program selected 10 entrepreneurs and challenged them to work on 10 wicked problems in healthcare. Kennedy’s team was drawn to the problems arising from our cultural reluctance to talk about death and dying. These issues costs us billions of dollars each year. They damage family relations, derail the wishes of millions, and prevent us from making the most of our final days. Legacy Foundry is building full-featured virtual space to facilitate and support discussion of this oft-avoided topic.
Our Leadership
Sean Kennedy, Founder and CEO
Sean Kennedy loves the startup world. He spent the majority of his career trying to solve the unique problems that only new companies seem crazy enough to attempt. In May of 2018, Sean was invited to join 10.10.10, a social impact organization that brings 10 seasoned entrepreneurs together for 10 days to work on 10 wicked problems. Sean chose to focus on our unwillingness to have the conversation around death and dying. Those 10 days and that problem germinated into the idea that has become Legacy Foundry.
Sean spent the previous seven years working on healthcare workflow solutions with Aventura Software as director then VP of engineering. Prior to Aventura, Sean was CEO and founder of an Internet EDI company providing supply chain services to retailers. Prior to that, Sean was CEO of a video game development studio. One of his earliest professional experiences was as an R&D engineer building sales force automation for big pharma in the mid-90s. The sale of that company is what got Sean hooked on the entrepreneurial world. He now takes any opportunity he can to apply his knowledge and experience to fun, challenging problems.
