Foresight

Foresight was originally created by Taylor Davidson in 2008 as a resource for entrepreneurs to download a simple financial model template for early-stage startups. The reason was simple: Taylor found himself continually creating new financial models for entrepreneur friends of his from scratch, and struggled to find standard templates or resources on the web. He spent one last time building a new financial model for a friend, and then turned it into a template and released it to the public on his website. After years of modifications, additions, improvements, and new models, Foresight has grown into a more complete resource for financial model templates and standards for entrepreneurs. Over 10,000 people have downloaded one of the financial models and multiple entrepreneurs have raised millions of dollars in venture funding using these templates as a base.
