About

At Forerunner, we believe climate adaptation is a necessity, not a luxury. We're building the modern operating system for government agencies, replacing fragmented legacy tools with an AI-powered platform that turns complex geospatial data into actionable insights. Our engineers work directly with public servants on the frontlines of climate change - processing hundreds of datasets, building real-time flood visualizations, and creating automated workflows that cut response times from weeks to hours. We ship constantly, own features from database modeling to pixel-perfect UI, and leverage AI-assisted development tools like Cursor and Claude Code to move faster.

We've raised $39M to double down on our commitment: 190+ agencies now rely on Forerunner to manage floodplains, coordinate emergency responses, streamline permits, and build stronger, safer communities. Engineering, product, design, and customer success aren't siloed here - we build together, hear directly from users, and let that feedback shape what we ship next. If you're passionate about using technology to help communities prepare for our changing climate, you'll fit right in.
