Company
Forage Mail
AI that solves email overwhelm
We built Forage Mail to filter low-priority emails from Gmail inboxes and send users a daily summary with TLDRs of newsletters. It learns preferences and lets users create custom rules. It works alongside any email app, so users don't have to switch.
We're based in New York, NY, with some remote team members. After YC, we'll remain based here and continue working remotely.
We're in New York because that's where the founding team lives and works. We're remote-friendly and will keep it that way after YC for flexibility.
