HQ: San Francisco, CA | Founded: 2022 | Employees: 42 | Stage: Series A | Website: Unknown
About
Foresight is an analytics platform founded in 2022 and part of the Y Combinator W23 batch. The company builds a decision intelligence layer that connects to existing data warehouses and ERP systems to provide predictive operational forecasts for enterprise teams. Foresight's platform is designed for operations leaders who need actionable forecasts rather than retrospective dashboards. The company serves customers across supply chain, workforce planning, and revenue operations verticals. Headquartered in San Francisco, Foresight has raised venture funding from Y Combinator, a seed round, and a Series A round, and employs approximately 42 people as of 2025.
The Take
Foresight occupies a compelling position in the crowded analytics market by focusing specifically on operational decision-making rather than general BI. The 72% gross margins and 5x LTV/CAC suggest a product-led growth motion with strong retention, though the company faces significant competitive pressure from well-funded incumbents like Tableau and Power BI. YC pedigree and efficient unit economics make this a company to watch in the decision intelligence segment.
