Forgepoint

AI assistant automating RFQ-to-quote process

Overview

Forgepoint builds AI coworkers for the manufacturing back office. Its first product, Frank, is an AI inside sales representative that handles the RFQ-to-quote process end to end, working with reps, estimators, and engineers. Frank is deployed at hundreds of shops nationwide and has helped cut time-to-quote by up to 90%. Unlike general software vendors, Forgepoint focuses on creating AI colleagues that automate back-office workflows in the manufacturing quoting process, delivering practical, measurable results in real-world shops. The company's goal is to give American manufacturers an edge by putting the best technology in their hands, enabling faster, more accurate quotes and smoother collaboration across teams.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Multiverse Computing raised €500M in 2026 with Forgepoint Capital International co-leading.
  • DataBahn closed a $40M Series B in 2026 with Forgepoint as an existing investor.
  • Capsule Security raised $7M in 2026, while Forgepoint's Black Hat roster keeps deal flow visible.

What critics are saying

  • Forgepoint's value depends on cyber M&A exits, so a Zscaler slowdown hurts realizations.
  • The 2026 portfolio leans heavily into AI security, risking category overlap and crowded competition.
  • OpenText's 2022 lawsuit against Forcepoint shows cybersecurity vendors face costly IP and litigation shocks.

What makes Forgepoint unique

  • Forgepoint specializes in cybersecurity, with portfolio exits like Symmetry Systems to Zscaler on May 21, 2026.
  • Its advisory council additions in April and July 2026 deepen operator access across cybersecurity.
  • Forgepoint's TIPS and Black Hat 2026 presence shows unusually hands-on portfolio support.
