Forestwalk Labs

Forestwalk Labs builds Powerplant, a shared review and transparency layer for product teams working with coding agents. Its MVP helps teammates see work across agent sessions in real time, give feedback while development is underway, and understand patterns across sessions. Designed for teams that care about user experience, it addresses coordination problems when development context stays inside individual coding sessions.

Founded in 2024, the Vancouver company is led by co-founder and CEO Allen Pike alongside co-founder and CTO Jenn Cooper. Its published engineering practices address architectural coherence in agent-written software: architectural fitness checks constrain unwanted dependencies and resource growth, while automated pattern-drift review flags competing implementations and tests that preserve obsolete choices. These checks supplement testing and human review rather than replace them.

Forestwalk is an early-stage, venture-backed startup building Powerplant with early users and offering access through demos. Its broader goal is an end-to-end software factory; the shared review layer is the starting product, with orchestration of the full development process still an ambition.
