PredictHQ is the demand intelligence company that empowers marketing, forecasting, and operations teams to predict the impact of real-world events. As the only company that integrates and adapts AI models to real-world event data, PredictHQ eliminates critical blind spots in demand forecasting, ensuring businesses can anticipate and mitigate demand volatility.

By combining forecast-grade event data with a proprietary prediction engine and flexible infrastructure, PredictHQ transforms how businesses make decisions. The platform doesn’t just tell you what events are happening—it provides why they impact demand, how much, and when similar surges or drops will occur. This allows leaders to stay ahead of market fluctuations and predict the unpredictable. Without real-world context from PredictHQ, AI lacks the depth needed to drive critical decisions.

We love PredictHQ because:

We’ve been investing in AI for years and were proud to recognise PredictHQ's potential early on as their first investor. Their innovative solution has paved the way for a new category, empowering data scientists to enhance yield and margins through an easy-to-use API and robust data infrastructure.

PredictHQ's platform stands out due to its unique, high-value, and defensible data, which are constantly enriched by customer interactions that give feedback to the system. PredictHQ is tackling a multi-billion-dollar market opportunity that continues to expand.
