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 AI Studio has 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.
What We're Looking At:
Sensing got cheap. Decision-grade ground truth for lenders, insurers, and regulators did not. Roughly $500 trillion in physical assets still lack a real-time digital representation of condition, utilization, or value. Utilities, dams, bridges, and fiber buildouts run on stale inventory while liability decisions need current condition. Forum AI Studio is looking for a Founder exploring any of these themes:
Utility pole and grid wildfire-grade condition networks
Dam and bridge lender diligence platforms
BEAD fiber as-built certification and capture services
and more!
Maybe you've sold geospatial or inspection tech into utilities or DOTs. Maybe you've built capture networks that produce audit-grade field truth, not pretty dashboards. That's who we are looking to build with.
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 with a proven track record of building, selling, and navigating the geospatial capture and physical asset intelligence world.
You may have sold inspection, LiDAR, or geospatial technology into utilities, DOTs, or infrastructure owners and run the sales cycle end to end.
You may have built capture networks or field data products that produce audit-grade condition truth for lenders, insurers, regulators, or autonomy teams.
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.
