About
Built on a simple belief: business should work better for the people behind it.
Our story
We find problems worth solving—and build solutions worth paying for.
Foundation Automations is a problem-solving and systems company. We identify costly friction, broken processes, and missed opportunities before recommending technology.
Our approach is to understand how the business works, identify the root cause, and build the simplest effective solution. AI, automation, software, and workflow redesign are tools—not the starting point.
We don't believe every problem needs AI, and we don't treat every conversation as a chance to sell software. We earn our keep by delivering genuine value — and charging fairly for it.
From the founder
Jonathan Hooper
Founder, Foundation Automations
Jonathan has spent most of his life building things, fixing things, and looking for better ways to get the job done. From building houses and working on drilling rigs to six years as a drilling fluids engineer and now managing construction crews, the work has changed—but his approach hasn't.
Start with the problem. Work backward to find the cause. Then find the simplest practical way to solve it.
That same mindset led Jonathan to AI and automation. He saw the potential, began studying the technology, and founded Foundation Automations—not to sell AI, but to use the right tools to solve real problems and genuinely improve people's lives.
Jonathan's faith in Jesus is central to who he is. He credits Christ with changing his life, helping him leave alcohol behind, and shaping the husband, father, and man he strives to be today. His goal is to build Foundation Automations on those same values: honesty, service, continual improvement, and genuinely helping people.
For Jonathan, success means providing more time and security for his family—and, if the business prospers, using that success to help others and give back to his community.
“I've been solving problems my whole life. This is just the first time I've built a business around solving everybody else's.”
