YC-backed Foaster launches AI infrastructure for consulting firms to run engagements with agents

Raphael Dabadie launches Foaster, a YC-backed startup positioning itself as "AI infrastructure for consulting teams."
- Core idea: agents run entire workstreams (market sizing, operations diagnostics, AI-led interviews at scale) powered by the firm's own methodologies, private knowledge, and client data. Consultants direct the agents, challenge conclusions, and stand behind the advice.
- Product structure: a firm knowledge library (playbooks, slide templates, past work), parallel agent modules (Northstar, Atlas, Meridian, etc.), and approval workflows where consultant edits feed back into the firm's playbook.
- Delivery: Forward Deployed Engineers configure Foaster around each firm's methods, with each engagement compounding reusable knowledge and agent capability.
The pitch: as intelligence gets cheaper, firms will delegate whole workstreams to agents instead of hiring more billable hours.
