Forum Ventures Studio is a leading early-stage fund and program for B2B SaaS startups. Starting a company is demanding, complex, and psychologically challenging. As former founders and early-stage operators, we understand firsthand that Founders need support, honest feedback, and someone who truly cares in their corner.

Our mission is to make the journey easier and more successful for Founders, and we've achieved this by making over 350+ investments that have raised $1Bn+ in follow-on funding. Forum founders have gone on to raise from funds like Andreessen Horowitz, NEA, Uncork Capital, 8VC, Founders Fund, Menlo Ventures, Canaan, Bowery Capital, Susa Ventures, SV Angel, and more.

We are seeking a Founder/CEO to launch and run one of our next companies in building a generative AI-powered platform for investment teams. We're starting with venture data, but the North Star is a data play that goes beyond sourcing, memo writing, and due diligence. We're looking at building the intelligence layer that sits on top of this.

As CEO, you’ll be leading the charge with a CTO, Designer, GTM, and validation experts by your side until your own team is hired. You’ll also have the support of recruitment, HR, legal, finance, and more to scale.

Forum derisks and accelerates the Founder path by:

• A $250K USD investment with you as majority shareholder, and an end-to-end fundraising playbook and network to raise your seed and Series A
• Providing a vetted business idea and business model in a large market
• The support of our experienced operating team - from business design, product development, growth, recruitment, legal and more
• Executing a winning GTM strategy to get you 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

You might have:

• Demonstrated track record in selling data, analytics or intelligence products into financial services, investment firms or similar industries
• Early-stage operator experience
• Experience building SaaS in the intelligence, ML, AI, or data space
• A demonstrated passion for technology’s ability to change the world
• A desire to be a venture-backed founder
• Ability to collaborate in North American time zones
