FOUNDED FROM EXPERIENCE
When we came together, our goal was to aspire to be the World’s Best Predictor of Company Headcount.
We lived the problem within companies whose revenue was dependent on the headcount of the customers served (i.e. seats, per employee per month fees, etc). The problem to solve was unpredictable revenue, missed forecasts, board meetings with incomplete data, and growth plans built on gut feel. We worked inside VC and PE-backed companies. We know what investors demand — predictability — and we know why most companies can’t deliver it.
What we discovered along the way — the headcount prediction is just the start
- The ingredients of an accurate headcount forecast turn out to be extraordinarily valuable on their own.
- To predict whether a company will grow or contract, you have to deeply understand it: its employees, industry dynamics, hiring patterns, talent pools, organizational structure, and growth drivers.
- We built that capability to power our forecasting engine. But once we were in market, customers kept finding new ways to use it.
