Forum Seed, our seed fund, backs exceptional SaaS startups at the seed-stage both from within and outside of our pre-seed program.
With over 250 portfolio companies, Forum founders have gone on to raise from NEA, Andreessen Horowitz, Uncork Capital, 8VC, Founders Fund, Menlo Ventures, Canaan, Bowery Capital, Susa Ventures, Salesforce Ventures, SV Angel, True Ventures and many more.
Our private peer community for Innovation executives -- The Innovation Forum -- brings together like-minded intrapreneurs from all backgrounds to share best practices, insights, and advice, and support one another.

About the role
At Forum Ventures, we believe some of the best companies are started in down-markets.
📝Which is why this month, we’re writing 10+ checks, into B2B SaaS founders, for $100k + admission to our pre-seed accelerator.
Forget about the generic startup-school you’ve seen from other accelerators. Our pre-seed program is highly personalized. Here’s what you can expect:
🤝Hands on GTM and Sales support to get you to $200k+ ARR
🌎 A community of B2B SaaS founders who have raised $1B+ in follow-on funding
🚀An awesome Managing Director who will join your team as a fractional co-founder. They’re all former founders (Bocar, Neal, Derek) and have lived 0-1
đź’¸No-bs investors who will help quarter back your seed round and show up through the good and the bad
If you’ve raised less than $500k to date, are pre-revenue, or had one-too-many VCs tell you you’re too early -- please apply!
