Foaster
The AI-native McKinsey
About Foaster
Foaster is building the AI-native McKinsey, starting with AI transformation. We deploy AI agents that interview a company's employees at scale, map how work actually gets done, identify bottlenecks and AI opportunities, and draft a transformation roadmap in just 2 weeks. Expert consultants review the final outputs, add judgment where it matters, and feed their corrections back into the system. We believe current AI models already have the capabilities required to automate most of the work consultants do. But traditional consulting firms use them to improve the old model: helping consultants work faster. Foaster is instead rebuilding a new model from scratch, where agents do the work that needs scale and humans review the final outputs, bring expertise, and improve the system overtime. We are starting with AI transformation, then progressively expanding to more and more consulting projects using the same approach. Every mission creates structured knowledge from interviews, workflow maps, recommendations, and expert corrections, so the system gets better with every client engagement. The $500B consulting market will eventually be run by our AI agents and a small number of expert humans.
