Foretopia was founded by David Lindmeir.  David started his NetSuite journey during his first entrepreneurial venture, eWatches.com, in 2003.  At the time, he needed a way to connect the inventory on the eWatches.com website with the physical inventory in his warehouse and that of his vendors using EDI.  In 2003, NetSuite (it was NetLedger at the time), was about the only option available that was both affordable for a startup and capable of making this happen. From 2003 to 2009, eWatches.com grew substantially and was ranked on the Inc 500 for both 2007 & 2008.  This fantastic growth was enabled by NetSuite.  He sold eWatches.com in 2009.

He used NetSuite again as the CTO of a Private Equity backed construction startup. Here he implemented NetSuite on multiple acquisitions and an internal startup.  In four years, the company grew from almost no sales, to around $100 million, all being managed on NetSuite.  It was at this time that NetSuite invited David to sit on their Customer Advisory Board (CAB) for Manufacturing and Distribution.

This journey provided David a view on what it is like to be NetSuite customer and a client of NetSuite consulting firms.  The clear message was that things can be done much better.  With that in mind, in 2019, David joined a small, but growing Toronto based NetSuite consulting firm as their US Director and later VP of Professional Services.  In four years, he provided oversight to over 45 full NetSuite implementations and built a strong US focused, but global NetSuite consulting team that has a reputation for competence and client satisfaction.

David started Foretopia in the summer of 2023 with the intention of helping businesses achieve their full potential on the NetSuite platform.

People often ask him where the name Foretopia comes from, here is his response:

“Every business leader Forecasts a UTopian Future for their business…ForeTopia’s Mission is to help them achieve it”
