Forum AI Studio

Go from concept to launch with less risk in record time

Our venture studio pairs our seasoned team of B2B SaaS and AI experts with world-class founders like you to provide them with funding and support to create successful venture-scalable companies.

What is a Venture Studio?

Venture studios provide a more holistic approach to helping entrepreneurs build and launch their businesses by providing entrepreneurs with a range of services and support, from idea validation to product design and development. They also offer invaluable mentorship, guidance, and resources to help entrepreneurs transform their ideas into successful AI businesses.

Forum launched our venture studio in 2022 to support founders even earlier in their journey while having fractional ownership in the latest technology transforming how we live, work, and interact. We’re dedicated to helping entrepreneurs build successful businesses from the ground up. We act as fractional co-founders, providing entrepreneurs with the resources to launch and scale their businesses.

A Call for Founders

A great AI SaaS founder has the drive and a commitment to solving a problem that plagues themselves and peers in their industry from thriving. They approach “there MUST be a better way” by throwing spaghetti at the wall to see what sticks. They envision how tech can enable the world to operate better and jump out of the box instead of being content with the ways things are. We are looking for founders with deep domain experience – not pedigree.

Whether you have your own concept or are an early-stage rockstar and professional brainstormer, we’re looking for founders to build the tech solutions of tomorrow.

What We Provide

We are your co-founder: We can write your code, design your product and create sales materials. We have a team of seasoned SaaS experts who will build alongside you across development, UI/UX, growth and business design.

Funding: We invest $250K USD into each startup we launch and an end-to-end fundraising playbook and network to raise your seed and Series A. We have an extremely strong vested interest in your success, so expect your inbox to be flooded with investor intros when the time comes.

All the benefits of being a Forum company including our network of customers, mentors, and investors, a community of other founders, $100k+ worth of software discounts and credits, and much more!

Extensive experience in B2B SaaS and AI, Forum's venture studio employs a hands-on approach to accelerate the growth of AI-focused startups.
