Prior Foundry
Simulate how entire populations respond to decisions before they're made.
Prior Foundry is an applied AI lab advancing society-level simulations. We build a decision intelligence platform for governments and policy teams, simulating how real populations respond to policy before millions of people feel it. Our platform provides on-demand behavioral intelligence that used to take consultants months, if not years to produce. Built on our research at the Stanford lab that pioneered human behavior simulation. In just two months, we got to 60k ARR, a partnership with the OECD across 38+ member governments, a pilot with Allegheny County in the US, and >1M in pipeline through a distributor.
