About Farsight

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. We not only give 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 work with an immense amount of both public and private data, delivering highly accurate and auditable materials in an arena far too nuanced for large-scale AI out of the box. Oftentimes, our product generates outputs that outperform the work of existing employees.

Our mission is to upend the way financial services work in corporations gets done, effectively integrating AI into the financial needlework of every company on Earth.

Team

We are a small, highly motivated team that is driven by creating technology that amazes. Each one of us wears many different skillset hats, whether that be development, sales, infrastructure, design, product innovation, and more - and we expect those coming in to have the experience or the motivation to wear just as many.

Our team has had a wide range of work experiences that have led us to be the fast growing startup we are. We have gained financial domain knowledge from Evercore and General Atlantic, gained scalable engineering skills from big tech like Amazon, learned enterprise AI sales from Hugging Face, and have learned the ins and outs of building successful startups from previous work as founders and founding engineers. We focus on hiring the best so that we can become the best, so we hope you apply!

We are based 4 days a week out of our office in Manhattan (Fridays are remote).
