Furnace

Summary

Furnace builds and operates outbound-sales systems for companies. Its service combines email infrastructure, campaign design and testing, data enrichment, CRM integration, reply handling, and custom engineering.

Impact

Early companies often need customer discovery and repeatable sales before they can support a specialized growth team. Furnace's bet is that a managed, instrumented outbound system can supply that capability earlier. The public evidence supports an active service with published plans and named client examples, while its reported campaign performance remains self-reported.

Utah Context

Furnace emerged from Utah Tech University's Sandbox program. A November 2025 St. George startup event identified co-founders Porter Gardiner and Kyle Nelson and reported that the company had performed outreach to more than 100,000 prospects for clients; that figure is an event-organizer statement, not an audited company record.

What They Need Now

Furnace is actively soliciting customers and offers a free outbound consultation. No current public jobs page was found.
