S12 Bonus: Why Your Enterprise AI Pilots Are Stalling and the Unsexy Data Pipeline Fix for 10x Engineering Velocity with Tyler Hochman, Founder & CEO of FORE Enterprise
Apr 23, 2026 · Season 12 · 21 min
Helping your company build the data pipeline to enable AI
Tyler Hochman got started early in the world of entrepreneurship. In Middle School, he got into Gemology, fascinated by the formation of gems, becoming a young GIA certifier. This taught him to get out of his comfort zone, from which he started his first business as a junior at Stanford. Past that, it's been a similar process of identifying a problem and looking at how to build a solution. Outside of tech, he is married with a 1 year old son, and another child on the way. He loves spending time with his son, enjoying all of the things parenthood throw at you.
Tyler built a workforce turnover solution half a decade ago, in the space of predicting employee turnover in a business. It got a lot of solid traction, but what he and his team noticed was that though people wanted to use the solution, they didn't have the infrastructure necessary to provide data to the tool. This led he and his team to swim a bit downstream to build that data pipeline for customers.
This is the creation story of FORE Enterprise.
