Introducing FoundersDeck: EU-First Reliability Toolkit
We just launched FoundersDeck — uptime monitoring, status pages, and more. One platform, 100% German infrastructure, built for data sovereignty.
Update (July 2026): We’ve sharpened our focus. FoundersDeck concentrates on what regulated software vendors actually need to evidence — uptime monitoring, heartbeat/cron checks, and public status pages — rather than a broad multi-module toolkit. The launch announcement below reflects our thinking in April 2026; the product scope described in “What’s live today” is current, everything framed as future modules is no longer on the roadmap.
Every SaaS founder knows the drill. You need uptime monitoring, so you sign up for UptimeRobot. Then you need a status page — hello Instatus. Cron job monitoring? Healthchecks.io. Alerts? Maybe PagerDuty. Before you know it, you’re paying for several different tools, each with its own login, its own billing, and its own data processing agreement.
And most of them store your data in the US.
Why we built FoundersDeck
We believe European founders deserve better. Not another tool with a GDPR sticker slapped on top of US infrastructure — but a platform built from the ground up on European soil, under European law, with European founders in mind.
FoundersDeck is that platform. One tool instead of several. All hosted in Germany. No CLOUD Act. No data transfers outside the EU.
What’s live today
FoundersDeck launches with two core modules, fully operational:
Uptime Monitoring
- HTTP, Ping, and Keyword checks
- Monitoring intervals down to 30 seconds
- Automatic incident detection with detailed error classification (SSL failures, DNS issues, timeouts, HTTP errors)
- Full response logging for every check
Public Status Pages
- Beautiful, customizable status pages for your users
- Custom domain support (e.g.,
status.yourdomain.com) - Uptime bars, incident history, and your branding
- Zero cookies, zero tracking, zero third-party requests — no consent banner needed
- See ours live: status.foundersdeck.dev
Multi-Channel Alerts
- Email, Slack, Discord, and Webhook notifications
- Real-time alerts when incidents are detected
- Automatic resolution notifications when your service recovers
Uptime Badges
- Embeddable SVG badges for your README, docs, or website
- Live uptime percentage — always up to date
100% German infrastructure
This isn’t marketing speak. Every byte of your data lives on Netcup servers in Nuremberg, Germany. FoundersDeck is a German company, operating under German and EU law exclusively.
What that means for you:
- Not subject to the US CLOUD Act — no foreign government can compel access to your data
- Not subject to FISA Section 702 — no mass surveillance backdoors
- GDPR-native — not retrofitted, not bolted on, built this way from day one
- Instant DPA download — no sales calls, no waiting
We’re bootstrapped and independent. No VC money, no US parent company, no external pressure to compromise on privacy.
Pricing that makes sense
We offer a free tier with 5 monitors, a public status page, and email alerts — no credit card required. Paid plans start at just 9 EUR per month and include custom domains, Slack/Discord alerts, and 90-day data retention.
Our most popular Pro plan at 19 EUR/month gives you 20 monitors, all alert channels, and uptime badges.
Start monitoring today
If you’re a founder, indie hacker, or SaaS developer in the EU — or anywhere, really — and you care about where your data lives, give FoundersDeck a try.
No credit card. No tracking. No compromises.
