Revitalize an industry. Rebuild America's manufacturing backbone.

America builds satellites, jet engines, semiconductors, and more with world-class precision, but the software running factory offices is decades behind. Estimators, procurement teams, and engineers still lose hours to spreadsheets, PDFs, and manual data entry.

Forgepoint builds AI workers for non-production departments — think inside sales, quoting, and procurement. By removing back-office bottlenecks, we help US manufacturers move faster, grow, and compete globally.

We're backed by a16z speedrun and angels from Brex, Xwing, and Betterment. Join us in rebuilding the digital foundation of American manufacturing.

Jack began his career at Acer and Northrop Grumman, then advised industrial companies at Bain. At Xwing, he helped scale the company and led GTM through its acquisition by Joby Aviation. He holds an MBA from Stanford and a BA from USC.

Alex began at Meta, then founded YC-backed Demeanor which was acquired by NTWRK. He later became a founding engineer on Brex Spend Management, and ultimately the Head of Engineering for that organization. He holds a BS in Computer Science from USC.

In person every day in NYC for high-bandwidth collaboration.

Talk to users constantly—we build with manufacturers, not for them.

Own outcomes end-to-end and drive solutions without waiting for permission.

Prefer simple, incremental systems that solve the real problem and are easy to operate.

We're Here to Win: We are building to help American manufacturers, our customers, our company, and our teammates win at the highest level.

There's Always a Way: We are relentlessly resourceful, take ownership of constraints, and find a path forward when others stop.

Truth Over Comfort: We choose honesty over ego, surface reality quickly, and change course when the facts demand it.

Act Now: We move fast, trust our instincts, and correct course as we go.

Step Up: We act like founders, fill gaps, fix problems, and follow through until the work is done.

The Team. The Team. The Team.: We put the team first, push and support each other, share wins, and own failures together.
