Forgepoint

Forgepoint builds AI coworkers for the manufacturing back office, starting with quoting. Its flagship product Frank is an AI inside sales representative that manages the request-for-quote process end to end: it reads inbound RFQs and part files, drafts quotes using the cost model of each shop, routes them for human approval and handles follow-up, while engineers, estimators and salespeople keep the technical and commercial decisions. Founded in 2025 by Jack Strauss (CEO) and Alex Pareto (CTO) and based in New York, the company reports seven-figure ARR within six months of launch, with customers averaging roughly 30% higher quote throughput and more than 55% faster time-to-quote.
