What FORESEEDS does

Foreseeds SAS is a Paris-based private SaaS company that operates a web-based collaborative platform, also optimized for iPad, designed to guide enterprise teams through agile project framing and design thinking workshops without requiring prior training in those methodologies. The platform structures facilitation into three integrated boards (Personae Board for empathy, Solutions Board for ideation, Projects Board for backlog) and includes a catalog of over 100 thematic "Seeds Cards" covering emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, IoT, and augmented reality. Workshop outputs can be exported in a few clicks to Excel, Jira, or enterprise social networks. The company's go-to-market is enterprise-focused direct sales targeting CAC 40 French corporations; publicly visible customers include AXA, AccorHotels, L'Oréal, Société Générale, Thales, Orange, Total, and Leroy Merlin, with case studies spanning insurance, hospitality, cosmetics, banking, defense, telecommunications, energy, and retail sectors. The company monetizes through annual SaaS subscriptions with custom enterprise pricing, operates under GDPR-compliant data practices, and is headquartered at 19-21 avenue George V in Paris. No external funding rounds, headcount figures, or revenue figures are disclosed in the available source materials, and no AI/ML capabilities are built into the product itself despite AI being a topic within the Seeds Cards content.
