Why we built Forward Matter.
A small Sydney company, started because the hardest part of an investment decision was never getting the information. It was reading enough of it, closely enough, in time to matter.
Some of the future is already scheduled.
Most information arrives as a surprise. But a meaningful share of it doesn't: a regulatory decision date, a trial completion, an earnings call, a policy review. Those events are published in advance, documented in the public record, and then discussed at length by people with opinions.
Reading all of that properly is a software problem, not a headcount problem. So we built the software, and because we run it on our own book it is judged on whether it works rather than on how it demonstrates. We are a small team in Sydney, deliberately narrow, going deep in a few industries instead of wide across all of them.
A Sydney team building at the front of industry technology.
Software alone cannot tell you what a clinical result means, and expertise alone cannot read ten thousand documents a day. So the company was built with all three sides in the room from the start.

Fifteen years building automation and software systems for listed, regulated and government organisations, including Charter Hall, Pfizer and Service NSW. Owns the architecture and the interface, and builds them in house rather than buying either.
Dion Couch
Industry insight, with pharmaceuticals as the specialist domain.
