Launch YC: The Forecasting Company: Foundation models for time series
"Easy and accurate forecasts for navigating an uncertain world"

tl;dr: The same core technology that led to the LLM explosion can be adapted to build accurate and easy-to-use to use time series models. The Forecasting Company is building the enterprise-grade, plug-and-play forecasting systems of tomorrow. Talk to the company founders if you have forecasting and planning use-cases!


Founded by
Geoffrey Negiar & Joachim Fainberg

Meet Geoff and Joachim. They’ve built ML and forecasting systems at Amazon, Google, Bloomberg LP, JP Morgan, and Sonos. They are The Forecasting Company!

Problem 📉

  • Existing time-series forecasting solutions produce unreliable predictions with sometimes catastrophic results - they have a hard time handling activity spikes like Black Friday.
  • Developing and maintaining useful forecasting and planning models requires large and costly teams of data scientists and domain experts.
  • Data science teams are backlogged, leaving operators waiting for months before a use-case to be put into production.


Solution 📈

  • An easy-to-use, flexible and accurate forecasting system. No training required!
  • A massive training dataset of time-stamped data from many industries and domains (energy, transportation, etc.).
  • A forecasting model that can leverage user-provided input variables or the founders' own curated data streams.
