Job description

Factory floors generate thousands of alerts every day. At $260,000 an hour in unplanned downtime, operators can't afford to guess which one matters.

Manufacturing operations run on a fragmented stack: SCADA, PLC, MES, Historian, quality vision systems, predictive maintenance platforms, CMMS, environmental sensors. None of them talk to each other in a way that produces a coherent picture of what's happening on the floor. Correlating signals into a root cause and executing a safe response is almost entirely manual and almost entirely reactive.

The opportunity: Become the incident response layer every manufacturing floor runs on. Ingest every signal, surface what matters, and act before the line goes down. Start with incident response, expand into SOP automation, trend reporting, and anomaly detection across the entire floor.

We're looking for Founders to leverage their domain expertise, and are convinced AI can deliver the outcomes better than humans to build full-stack, AI Native services in industries where outcomes depend on expertise, regulation, and trust.

Your Partners in Co-Creation:

Forum's AI Studio brings together ambitious people, brilliant ideas, and capital to build the best B2B SaaS businesses in the world, from 0 to 1. In addition to capital and an idea, we provide founders with access to investor networks, fundraising support, and the resources needed to build transformational companies. We've launched 17 companies since 2023, and we're launching 7 more in 2026. We're designed to help Founders move faster, develop better insights, and build companies that have a higher success rate than startups built in any other way.

Forum derisks and accelerates the Founder path by:

  • A $250K USD investment, and an end-to-end fundraising playbook and network to raise your seed and Series A

  • A validation partner with proven playbooks, networks, and the systems to validate, unlock your ICP, ignite your sales pipeline, and beyond

  • The support of our experienced operating team - from business design, product development, growth, recruitment, legal and more

  • Executing a winning GTM strategy to get to $50-100K ARR, and the right MVP to ensure early traction

  • A community full of mentors, peers, and leaders

  • $100K worth of business perks

About you:

  • Early-stage operator experience, and expertise in the problem space you're building in.

  • The ability to attract, hire and lead world-class teams

  • A demonstrated passion for technology’s ability to change the world

  • A desire to be a venture-backed founder

  • Canada or US-based, and the ability to collaborate in North American time zones.
