Foresight, a project delivery platform for large-scale infrastructure, has raised £19 million in Series A funding led by Macquarie Capital Venture Capital, with participation from seed investor Creandum, ISAI Build (Bouygues group VC fund managed by ISAI), i2bf Global Ventures and Somersault Ventures. Funding will be used to accelerate product development, expand its team and scale its global go-to-market as demand increases across infrastructure sectors.
Unprecedented levels of capital are being deployed into complex infrastructure programmes, including hyperscale data centres, power generation, advanced manufacturing and defence. These programmes are becoming larger, more power-dense and more interdependent, relying on multi-billion-dollar delivery schedules and global supply chains, where execution failures can lead to delays, increased costs and postponed revenue activation. Independent research indicates that nearly 90 percent of large-scale infrastructure projects are delivered late or over budget, with delays in AI infrastructure directly affecting capacity activation, financing costs, customer commitments and competitive positioning.
Foresight was built to address these challenges by providing predictive oversight of project delivery. Its platform establishes a baseline schedule, validates real-world progress against plan, integrates execution signals across stakeholders and forecasts risks early to enable intervention before delays materialise. Customers report more accurate completion forecasts, reduced overruns and improved visibility across multiple concurrent projects.
The funding will be used to deepen product capabilities, expand engineering and go-to-market teams and support international growth. Foresight plans to extend its platform into additional infrastructure sectors including power, defence and advanced manufacturing.
The scale of capital now committed to infrastructure is historic, but capital alone doesn’t build anything on time. Foresight replaces fragmented oversight with predictive control—giving owners forward-looking visibility into risk and the ability to intervene before delays materialise. This funding allows us to scale globally and support the next generation of infrastructure delivery.
Macquarie Capital Venture Capital seeks to partner with high-growth, early-stage software companies that drive innovation within their sectors. We invested in Foresight because of its potential to transform the operating model for how complex projects are delivered. Delivery discipline is crucial in a market where delays directly impact returns, and Foresight provides project owners with the clarity and control to maintain a competitive edge.
Delays in major projects are not rare events caused by black swans. They are systemic, driven by small, compounding execution failures and predictable human biases in planning and decision-making. My research at Oxford has spent years quantifying this problem. Foresight is the first platform that operationalizes these insights, giving every level of the organization, from C-suite to field, the tools to see risk early and act on it.
