Foreman

YCombinator

Keeping contractors on the job site, not behind a desk.

Foreman is the all-in-one AI-powered project management platform built for construction contractors and the trade industry. Today, contractors run complex businesses on a patchwork of tools that were never designed for construction — estimates in spreadsheets, plans in email, proposals copy-pasted from old Word docs, photos scattered across phones. Nothing talks to anything else, and the admin work never stops. Foreman replaces that patchwork with a single platform that manages the full lifecycle of a construction job, from first estimate to final invoice. Contractors upload plans, photos, or a project description, and Foreman's AI instantly generates structured takeoffs, scoped estimates, and professional proposals — in minutes, not hours. From there, every customer record, document, permit, photo, change order, and conversation lives in one place, organized around the job. The result: contractors spend less time buried in admin and more time building. They bid faster, manage jobs with less chaos, and close projects cleanly — without duct-taping five tools together to do it.

Strength Tracking Wearable

Fort is a wearable that tracks strength training for people who care about longevity. Other wearables make you manually log every rep, set, and exercise, then provide unhelpful feedback or underestimate strength-related fatigue.

The first exchange to trade on attention.

Forum is building the first exchange to trade on cultural attention. We create indices from search, social, and streaming data to measure what the world cares about, enabling users to go long or short on changes in relevance. Attention is the primary driver of business success in the digital age, but it has never been directly tradable. Forum introduces attention as a new asset class for managing cultural and demand risk.
