Job description

Forum's Venture 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. Our model is designed to help you 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
