Our Mission
At Loop Foundry, our mission is to give every non-profit and non-governmental organisation better visibility into their operations by providing them with the tools and reports they need to make well-informed decisions.
We understand what you need to keep your organisation running smoothly. A successful company often has a lot of moving parts – all the things your clients and customers never see. We’re passionate about information and decision-making, and we can give you the tools and systems you need to make yours the best they can be.
Back-end systems can be critical, especially during growth stages. A system that doesn’t run efficiently or produce the required result can bring your whole organisation grinding to a halt.
The Loop Foundry team combine a unique blend of business experience and technical expertise. We have a comprehensive understanding of the technical, manual, and human systems that a strong organisation needs to function more efficiently. We can identify the stress points in your business’ back-end processes and procedures. From there, we can then develop and maintain a solution for you to bring your business to peak performance.
With a professional, local team of software developers, business analysts, and people passionate about processes, Loop Foundry is your partner in tackling the varied and complex systems that power your success.

Our Story
In 2012, Loop Foundry (then known as The Foo Project) was founded by four young IT professionals keen to make their mark on the world. Initially focusing on producing software products for sale, we quickly found our calling: niche software development and IT consulting services that required a high understanding of the client’s problem domain and needed something other than a “one size fits all” approach.
Growing from these beginnings, we rented our first office space in late 2013 in Hobart’s CBD, in the Reserve Bank Building at 111 Macquarie Street. We’re still there today! Whilst we’re big proponents of flexible working and work from home, having this office space has provided us with a touch point for our clients and a pleasant space to learn from fellow professionals.
Since 2014 we’ve been hiring staff as the business has grown. We’re proud of every single person who has come and gone from Loop Foundry, with some using their time at Loop Foundry as a stepping stone to something greater: one has left to work at Google, several others have started their own businesses. We’re always keeping an eye out for great people who want to learn and grow with us (here’s our careers page if you’re interested).
By mid-2017 it was obvious that our previous brand (The Foo Project) was holding us back (mostly because nobody could spell it), and so over the winter of 2017 we rebranded as Loop Foundry. Our new name both reflected our focus on improving our client’s business cycles and also still maintained a fun programming joke in the name – whilst we take our work seriously, it’s important that life is a little fun.
Whilst we’ve always had open doors to clients all across Australia (or the world, for that matter), in 2019 we made the decision to open an office in Melbourne and begin marketing ourselves to clients across Victoria, as well as the other mainland states of Australia. We’ve now worked with clients based in Victoria, Queensland, and New Zealand.
As of 2025, we’re still growing in a sustainable way and ramping up for the next challenges that come our way…
