Foresight's founders, Adam Devine (CRO) and Jason Miller (CEO)
Founded in 2023, Foresight helps private market investors, lenders, and acquirers use data to make financial decisions about private companies. Through its proprietary AI-driven data mesh, the Foresight platform unifies data from 50+ sources and applications, including third-party sourcing feeds, CRMs, cap table vendors, shared drives, company KPIs, and fund accounting software. This single source of truth is integrated into the dashboards, analytics, and modeling tools within Foresight’s SaaS applications for sourcing, diligence, and post-investment portfolio management.
“Private markets are fragmented—filled with point solutions and siloed data. Everyone is chasing the elusive 'single pane of glass' to make sense of it all,” said Jason Miller, Founder & CEO, Foresight. “But unifying and structuring that data into a seamless, usable knowledge graph was a fundamental, unsolved problem until Foresight.” Miller, a West Point grad and Army veteran, has spent his entire business career building technology for the private markets, including a decade at BlackRock and several years at Point72 and Greycroft, where he identified the ubiquitous problem of siloed data.
“The private market is at the inflection point that every industry goes through during the adoption of new technology and the shift to becoming data-driven,” said Adam Devine, Foresight Co-founder and CRO. “Foresight helps every type of private company investor, banker, and acquirer to become powered by data and will enable new ways for market participants to engage, collaborate and transact with one another.” Devine is a serial entrepreneur and has led go-to-market for several AI-driven enterprise software companies.
Since launching with founding customers in April 2023, Foresight’s software has been deployed within some the most sophisticated venture capital and private equity firms, such as Forerunner and Kleiner Perkins, and the company has created partnerships with several of the private market’s biggest data and services companies.
“We believe Foresight enables every type of private company investor, banker, and acquirer to become data-driven,” said Madison Faulkner, Partner, NEA. “I have known Jason for years as an industry expert with a deep understanding of how to effectively use data in the private markets. When NEA first saw Foresight’s product, we quickly understood the firm-wide value it could deliver—from investing to services and operations. We’re thrilled to partner with Jason, Adam, and the team as they work to deliver precision around structured data for private market-focused businesses.”
Foresight plans to use the infusion of capital to expand its product and GTM teams and encourages applications through its careers page. The team is headquartered in New York City with a presence in San Francisco.
