Forge Group, Inc.

Walter Raftus and Timothy Seto co-founded Forge Automation immediately after graduating from University of Waterloo Engineering in summer 2022, combining AI/software expertise with precision machining experience to build software-enabled factories.

Forge Automation Founded

Forge Automation began machining operations with initial CNC equipment in Toronto, developing the Foundry software platform to automatically generate machine-ready toolpaths and establishing 4-day turnaround capabilities.

First CNC Operations Launch

Forge Automation raised pre-seed funding and was accepted into Y Combinator, gaining access to mentorship, capital, and the YC network to accelerate growth and refine the software-enabled manufacturing model.

Y Combinator Pre-Seed Funding

Launched Forge Reserve Machines service offering customers dedicated access to CNC machines on Forge's shop floor with guaranteed 4-day SLAs, including machine maintenance and skilled machinists—providing predictable capacity for hardware teams.

Forge Reserve Machines Program Launch

Forge Automation reached milestone of shipping thousands of precision machined parts to engineers across North America, serving customers from Fortune 10 companies to early-stage startups and validating market demand for fast, reliable on-demand manufacturing.

Thousands of Parts Milestone

Forge Automation participated in Y Combinator's Winter 2025 (W25) batch, accessing additional funding, mentorship, and network to scale operations, expand manufacturing capacity, and enhance Foundry software automation capabilities.
