We’re delighted to announce our investment in Forethought, whose mission is to rethink information retrieval, starting by making customer support agents up to 30% more efficient. Forethought recently won first place at Techcrunch Disrupt where notable investors including Cyan Banister (Founders Fund), Roelof Botha (Sequoia Capital), Jeff Clavier (Uncork Capital), and Kirsten Green (Forerunner Ventures) declared Forethought’s first product the winner of the $100,000 grand prize.

The company is led by accomplished AI focused founder Deon Nicholas whose background includes time at Facebook, Palantir and Dropbox. Nicholas is also a 2015 ACM (International Collegiate Programming Contest) world finalist, which is considered one of the largest and most revered competitive coding competition today.

The team’s first product, Agatha, is a modern vision for enterprise search that uses AI to surface the content that matters most in the context of work.
