REASONS TO INVEST
We combine budgeting services, a social calendar, and travel planning into one sleek, intuitive app to help our users reshape how they make plans in their lives.
According to our research, our Total Addressable Market (TAM) is valued at $9.3 billion while 86.4% of 18 - 34-year-old Americans are interested in using Foresyte. Currently, we have 7,400 total downloads to-date.*
We recently launched our innovative Travel Planner feature which shows the total cost of traveling to any city around the globe based on crowdsourced insights from fellow Foresyte travelers, and our upcoming chat feature will soon allow our users to bring the banter to social planning.
the pitch
Foresyte is on a mission to revolutionize the way young professionals make financial plans in their busy lives. A national survey conducted by Anthology Research Firm found that over 67% of Americans ages 18-34 are currently unserved with budgeting, among whom 86.4% responded with interest when presented with our app. Foresyte helps our users budget for the future by intersecting three distinct product categories: financial planning, social calendar, and travel planning. With a total addressable market valued at $9.3 billion and a month over month growth rate of 105%, we are ready to grow our platform into a one-stop shop for users to get the most fun out of life.
Overview
A One-Stop Shop for Lifestyle Planning
At Foresyte, we designed an app to give young professionals total peace of mind while making plans for life’s fun and meaningful moments, such as vacations, bachelor parties, festivals, concerts, game nights, date nights, golf outings, and more. We make budgeting approachable, effective, and social, helping users track how the plans they commit to today impact tomorrow’s finances. Our technology is patent-pending, and our leadership team has significant experience in product management and software engineering.
The Problem & Our solution
A Financial Service App that Actively Plans for the Future
Currently, two-thirds of Americans ages 18-34 are underserved in their budgeting needs. However, this demographic travels an average of 35 days per year with a 72.7% higher annual vacation spending than Boomers, even while carrying an average of $117K in total debt* (Source | Source | Source). According to our research, 86.4% of this generation would be interested in a product like Foresyte (Source).
*Note: "Average total debt" comprises credit card debt, student loans, personal loans, medical debt, auto loans, and mortgages.
Foresyte goes beyond simply reporting on spending history by combining our budgeting framework with a social calendar and travel planner to help our users plan ahead for the fun moments in life. We offer a 30-day free trial prior to enrolling users in the $4.99 monthly subscription cycle.
With a 31% conversion rate on getting new users to subscribe over the past five weeks, we believe that we are successfully proving out of the market for our paid offering while simultaneously laying the groundwork for a backdoor freemium pivot in Q1 of 2023 (Source). Our hope is that this model will further stimulate top-of-funnel growth by providing free access to our core social calendar features, and entice free users to upgrade to the paid version in order to access the premium financial and travel planning features.
Additional revenue channels we plan to explore with freemium include display ads and booking syndication commissions sources from third-party booking partners such as Expedia, Booking.com, OpenTable, & StubHub. Expedited withdrawal fees generated by in-app cash exchange infrastructure will tentatively debut in FY23 (i.e. think Splitwise, but for group travel, entertainment, dining, or other social occasions).
Our unique services include:
*The aforementioned booking functionality is an anticipated event that has not yet occurred. This function is currently under development and is not commercially available at this time. This statement does not guarantee the booking functionality's launch, performance, or future success.
the market & Our Traction
Strong Early Growth in a Huge, Underserved Market
Our total global available revenue is valued at $9.3 billion, with 80 million total target customers in the U.S. alone (Source). During Foresyte’s short 130 days in market, the company garnered:
Our in-house TikTok influencer has a following of 694K+ as of January 11, 2023 (Source). Of Foresyte's current 500 weekly average installs, TikTok is currently responsible for roughly 75% of that weekly tally, driving over 370 weekly installs and doing so with a cost-per-acquisition trending under $3.46 per install (Source | Source). Foresyte holds provisional patents on four unique technologies. We have recently been featured on several prominent publications, including Product Hunt, Tech Times, NY Weekly, LA Weekly, The UBJ, VC Post and Go Solo. Perhaps one of our most valuable assets is our relationship with Heinrich Marketing, a top-notch marketing service at no cost to us.

Why Invest
The Next Generation of Financial Planning
In building our visionary three-pronged approach to budgeting for young professionals, we found a way to deliver a great product, progress swiftly through feedback loops, and quickly penetrate an underserved market on a shoestring budget. With strong early traction, demonstrated interest from 86.4% of young Americans, and a multi-billion dollar TAM, we believe that we are primed to reshape the world of personal finance and discretionary planning.
Invest in Foresyte and join our mission to provide more people the opportunity to get the most fun out of life.

The 10% StartEngine Owners' Bonus
Foresyte, Inc. will offer 10% additional bonus shares for all investments that are committed by investors that are eligible for the StartEngine Crowdfunding Inc. OWNer's bonus.
This means eligible StartEngine shareholders will receive a 10% bonus for any shares they purchase in this offering. For example, if you buy 100 shares of Common Stock at $0.82 / share, you will receive 110 shares Common Stock, meaning you'll own 110 shares for $82. Fractional shares will not be distributed and share bonuses will be determined by rounding down to the nearest whole share
This 10% Bonus is only valid during the investors eligibility period. Investors eligible for this bonus will also have priority if they are on a waitlist to invest and the company surpasses its maximum funding goal. They will have the first opportunity to invest should room in the offering become available if prior investments are canceled or fail.
Investors will receive the highest single bonus they are eligible for among the bonuses based on the amount invested and time of offering elapsed (if any). Eligible investors will also receive the Owner’s Bonus and the Loyalty Bonus in addition to the aforementioned bonus.
*In order to receive perks from an investment, one must submit a single investment in the same offering that meets the minimum perk requirement. Bonus shares from perks will not be granted if an investor submits multiple investments that, when combined, meet the perk requirement. All perks occur when the offering is completed.

NEW UPDATES
01.27.23
Foresyte Goes Freemium
The team at Foresyte is thrilled to announce the anticipated debut of our freemium subscription model. Upon registering for an account, new users can now select between a Foresyte's Starter and Premium plans, the former of which will provide users with free / unrestricted access to all core social calendar features found in the app today. We believe this update will drive significant impact for Foresyte's social planning flywheel effect.
Foresyte's premium financial and travel planning features will be gated from access for users who select Starter. After having exhausted their free "one-time-use" access token for a premium feature, freemium users will be prompted to upgrade to the paid monthly subscription plan in order to regain access to said feature. Upgrading will incur an immediate $4.99 charge to a user's account and will automatically enroll this user into the $4.99 monthly billing cycle required to retain premium access.
We are very excited to continue accelerating Foresyte's already strong viral growth by way of this scalable revenue model.
Cheers,
Foresyte Team

With Regulation A+, a non-accredited investor can only invest a maximum of 10% of their annual income or 10% of their net worth per year, whichever is greater. There are no restrictions for accredited investors.
With Regulation Crowdfunding, non-accredited investors with an annual income or net worth less than $124,000, are limited to invest a maximum of 5% of the greater of those two amounts. For those with an annual income and net worth greater than $124,000, he/she is limited to investing 10% of the greater of the two amounts.
At the close of an offering, all investors whose funds have “cleared” by this time will be included in the disbursement. At this time, each investor will receive an email from StartEngine with their Countersigned Subscription Agreement, which will serve as their proof of purchase moving forward.
Please keep in mind that a company can conduct a series of “closes” or withdrawals of funds throughout the duration of the campaign. If you are included in that withdrawal period, you will be emailed your countersigned subscription agreement and proof of purchase immediately following that withdrawal.
StartEngine assists companies in raising capital, and once the offering is closed, we are no longer involved with whether the company chooses to list shares on a secondary market, or what occurs thereafter. Therefore, StartEngine has no control or insight into your investment after the close of the live offering. In addition, we are not permitted to provide financial advice. You may want to contact a financial professional to discuss possible investment outcomes.
For Regulation Crowdfunding, investors are able to cancel their investment at any point throughout the campaign up until 48 hours before the closing of the offering. Note: If the company does a rolling close, they will post an update to their current investors, giving them the opportunity to cancel during this timeframe. If you do not cancel within this 5-day timeframe, your funds will be invested in the company, and you will no longer be able to cancel the investment. If your funds show as ‘Invested’ on your account dashboard, your investment can no longer be canceled.
For Regulation A+, StartEngine allows for a four-hour cancelation period. Once the four-hour window has passed, it is up to each company to set their own cancelation policy. You may find the company’s cancelation policy in the company’s offering circular.
Once your investment is canceled, there is a 10-day clearing period (from the date your investment was submitted). After your funds have cleared the bank, you will receive your refund within 10 business days.
Refunds that are made through ACH payments can take up to 10 business days to clear. Unfortunately, we are at the mercy of the bank, but we will do everything we can to get you your refund as soon as possible. However, every investment needs to go through the clearing process in order to get sent back to the account associated with the investment.
Both Title III (Regulation Crowdfunding) and Title IV (Reg A+) help entrepreneurs crowdfund capital investments from unaccredited and accredited investors. The differences between these regulations are related to the investor limitations, the differing amounts of money companies are permitted to raise, and differing disclosure and filing requirements.
