Introducing the Quantumrun Foresight Platform

The Quantumrun team built and released the Quantumrun trend platform during the 2020 Covid lockdowns. Witnessing the world-changing consequences of a lack of corporate, institutional, and even individual preparedness to disruptive events and trends, the Quantumrun team decided to automate and democratize its foresight consulting into an affordable trend intelligence software platform.
