Чем занимается Forage

Forage is changing the world of career discovery and skill-building. We partner with leading companies to create online job simulations for college students to build skills, gain experience and better understand different career paths. Our free digital learning simulations simulate a 'day in the life' of a junior employee, giving students the chance to complete hypothetical tasks, learn from employees and understand which roles are aligned with their interests and skills. We believe 'talent is distributed evenly, but opportunity is not'. Our programs let the world's most iconic employers to open their doors to students from all backgrounds, regardless of where they are located, what they study and what university they go to. Employers use these simulations to attract, and ultimately hire, exceptional and high-intent candidates from broad and diverse audiences. There are now +4m students in the Forage community, and we currently run job simulations with leading organizations including GE, BCG, HSBC, Goldman Sachs, Lululemon, EY, Accenture, Latham & Watkins, JPMorgan Chase & Co, Citi, BNY Mellon, Prudential, Verizon, Bloomberg, Oliver Wyman, HPE, KPMG, Deloitte, and others.

Online job simulations to train and hire students

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We build online job simulations that let students complete realistic, entry-level work tasks from major companies. This helps students explore careers and gain experience remotely. Employers use these simulations to find and assess diverse candidates who have already shown commitment and skill through our platform.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

Our main base is San Francisco, CA, but the team is remote as well.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco sits at the center of the tech and recruiting ecosystems we work with. Being remote helps us tap talent and serve users globally.

Часто задаваемые вопросы

Это реальная заявка Forage в YC?

Нет. Y Combinator держит поданные заявки в приватности. Это реконструкция: реальные вопросы формы YC, ответы на которые основаны на публичных данных Forage (заметки о запуске, бэкграунд фаундеров, описание продукта). Это показывает, как компания вроде Forage представила бы себя YC, а не текст, который они подали.
