About

A lead engine built on transparency.

Lead Foundry was started by Hettie Dann to solve a very specific frustration: business owners who are brilliant at their craft, but stuck without a pipeline.

The story

After years working across commercial projects, one pattern stood out: brilliant businesses stalled — not because of their product, but because no one was consistently putting qualified prospects in front of them.

Lead Foundry exists to solve exactly that. We are not a marketing agency. We are not a call centre. We are a dedicated lead engine — quietly finding your next customers while you deliver excellent work for the ones you already have.

Our promise is simple: real leads, real reporting, no fluff. If we're not delivering value, you'll see it in the numbers the same week we do.

What we value

  • Transparency

    Every lead, every conversation, every metric — visible to you.

  • Fit over volume

    10 great leads beat 100 poor ones. We optimise for close rate.

  • Focus

    We stay in our lane so you can stay in yours.

  • South African-first

    Local market, local decision-makers, local context.
