BEYOND INVESTMENT

We’re a founder-first AI venture studio, accelerator, and pre-seed fund.

Venture Studio

Our AI-first venture studio gets involved at the concept level, creating successful new ventures from the ground up. Our world-class team of operators, builders, product designers, and developers work closely with entrepreneurs to ideate, validate, launch, and scale B2B SaaS startups in a co-creative process.

Accelerator

Our B2B SaaS accelerator program is designed to help early-stage startups grow quickly over a short period of time by becoming their fractional co-founder. With a focus on early go-to-market and fundraising, we help founders achieve meaningful customer traction and their first big round of funding.

Pre-Seed Fund

Our B2B SaaS pre-seed fund enables us to invest in and support more founders along the entrepreneurial journey. We leverage the team and resources from our accelerator to provide more hands-on help than any other pre-seed fund and build massive businesses in the process.

your founder journey.

For Founders by Founders

The zero-to-one journey is unique, and only those who have lived it know what it truly takes to build a successful startup. Our team of ex-founders and operators have cut their teeth building SaaS companies of their own and are passionate about supporting our portfolio founders to build theirs.

Your First Call

At Forum, we’re more than capital & consultants, we’re confidants there for the highs and lows of the journey. When sh*t hits the fan, we’re here to fix it together. When you land your first customer, we’re here to celebrate with you. Our portfolio founders always call us first. Just ask them.

A Huge Founder Community

Getting support from a community of founders can make the journey a lot less lonely. In working with over 900 B2B SaaS founders, we've created one of the largest, most supportive and deeply connected communities in SaaS, with founders, mentors, and experts who are always willing to lend a hand.

WHAT OUR PORTFOLIO FOUNDERS SAY

Don’t take our word for it––here's how we’ve helped our founders where they need it most.

FUNDRAISING

We’ve helped 450 SaaS founders raise capital from funds like A16z, Bessemer, and Backstage Capital through hands-on, end-to-end fundraising guidance and support. 

We struggled at first to find a lead investor, and when we thought all hope was lost, Forum Ventures kept us optimistic and on track. Two years later, we raised our Series A from Bessemer, and the first people we called to celebrate were the team at Forum.

PRODUCT

We run customer discovery with founders to determine the right target audience, validate product-market fit, and solidify your product solution.

Building a company isn't easy, and there are many highs and lows as you go. Working through the key period of customer discovery, establishing product-market fit, honing in on a pricing strategy, beginning to scale, and preparing for institutional funding is especially difficult. Forum Ventures provides the tools to help you succeed during this time.

COMMUNITY

We know the founder journey can be isolating and so being part of a community of other founders on a similar journey is crucial to both making headway and your mental health.

The community we’ve been able to meet and be a part of at Forum has accelerated our process in a way that wouldn’t have otherwise. Their programming is excellent and the people in their community are awesome. The quality of the experience has been superb across the board.

CUSTOMER INTROS

Securing early customers is essential for product development and finding market fit. As part of our portfolio, you have access to an exponential network of contacts.

Forum Ventures was instrumental in providing us with the tools we needed to up level our business. We got invaluable support for all the things that matter to early-stage founders - acquiring users, customer discovery, sales, and even expanding our network. The Forum team really cares, and takes the time to invest in your success.

STAYING SANE

We’ve helped hundreds of founders weather the emotional founder storm by being available 24/7 and reminding them that they’re not the first or last to face this current challenge.

The real value comes from having Forum on your team– their perspective, energy, and support as you grow are worth the investment, especially for first-time founders who need someone to walk the journey with. I know in 4 years I can still call up Forum and they’ll talk me off the ledge, celebrate wins with me, help with a major decision, or simply jump on a sales call.
