Discover searches the company name, one-line description, longer description, founders, role text, location, industry tags, and YC batch.

• Batch, industry, and country filters list the values that exist in the directory.
• Sort by newest batch, A to Z, or biggest team.
• Hiring now keeps companies with open roles. Active only keeps companies marked Active.
• Remote keeps companies with remote openings: All Remote, Worldwide, North America, Europe, Asia, or Other Regions. Regions come from each job's listed location, not the company's headquarters, so a company with several openings can appear under more than one.
• Worldwide means the posting says remote without naming a region. It does not confirm the company hires in every country, so check the posting.
• Clear filters returns the newest-first list. The count above the cards shows which results are on the page.

Each card opens collapsed. It shows the company name, YC batch, a Hiring badge with the number of open roles, the one-line description, location, team size, founding year, and industry tags.

• Hiring for lists the job titles from the company's current postings, up to three at first. +N more shows the rest and does not use a profile unlock. Companies with no listed roles have no Hiring for line.
• View founders & links expands the card. Hide details collapses it again.
• Each founder appears once: the name in bold, then the title and biography, with that founder's LinkedIn and X on the right.
• Company links sit together below the founders: website, YC page, company LinkedIn, GitHub, and Crunchbase, when they are on file.
• Pro and lifetime Pro accounts can expand any card. On Free, the first expansion of a card uses one of the month's profile unlocks, and an unlocked card stays available to you for the month.

Contacts lists founder names alphabetically, with company and tier.

1. Open Contacts and search by name, company, or email.
2. Filter by tier A, B, or C when you want a narrower list.
3. Choose Reveal on a row to show that founder's email. Each reveal counts toward the monthly allowance.
4. Use the address for a relevant note to that person.

• Free includes 30 startup profile unlocks and 15 founder contact reveals each UTC month. Search and filters stay available.
• Pro is $8.99 USD per month. It includes unlimited startup discovery and founder contact reveals, with a short wait if unlocks happen too quickly.
• Upgrade from Pricing. PayPal hosts the checkout. Returning to Foidry does not turn Pro on by itself. Pro appears after PayPal confirms the payment.
• Manage subscription opens PayPal when this account has a subscription. Cancel there to stop the next charge. Pro remains while the paid period PayPal reports is still open.
• The badge beside your avatar reads PRO for an active paid subscription or a lifetime Pro entitlement. It reads FREE when the account has no current Pro entitlement. A lifetime entitlement stays PRO even when there is no monthly subscription.

• Profile shows the name and email from the account, the plan, remaining Free allowance, and the date the account was created. There is no separate editor for the name.
• Forgot password on the sign-in page emails one reset link. The link expires in one hour and works once. Saving a new password ends the other sessions on that account.
• An email signup stays signed out of Discover until the six-digit verification code is entered. A verified password account signs in without another code.
• Privacy and Terms describe the data practices. Delete account, on Profile, removes the login after you confirm the email and type DELETE. A charging PayPal subscription is cancelled before the account is removed.
