About Farsight AI

Farsight is the agentic AI platform for financial services, currently helping investment banks and private equity firms fully automate entire, highly nuanced workflows. Today, institutions will spend 80% of their time gathering information for and creating first drafts of materials by hand before iterating on and refining their decks, models, and pitches.

Farsight not only gives them that time back to focus on what is important, but we also bring new insights and knowledge to their materials that they wouldn’t be able to uncover without the help of our financial-focused AI.

We've learned the ins and outs of building successful startups with a team of former founders and founding engineers. We focus on hiring the best so that we can become the best, so we hope you apply!
