Wall of love for Forum for Founders

The Forum Ventures team is awesome! They did an excellent job getting my co-founder and I into "fighting shape" to secure our first VC investment. Also, their help with customer acquisition went above and beyond--many of our first customer pilots came from their intros. I highly recommend Forum Ventures to SaaS founders.

Forum was the fractional cofounder that helped us refine our product, and calibrate our vision to resonate with the right investors to raise a Seed. With all the ups and downs in the early days, having the forum team in our corner helped us keep up momentum, along with endless resources to help us execute to the best of our ability. So proud to be a part of the Forum community.

Forum Ventures was instrumental in setting up our company for go-to-market excellence and lasting growth. Since partnering with Forum, our company has grown 8x and is adding some of the best talent on the market. I recommend Forum to any founders wishing to do the same or better.

We really enjoyed working with Forum. They couldn't have come at a better time. Being that our founding team was from the Midwest (Wisconsin) we didn't have a whole lot of experience in the VC / Startup space. Forum was able to get us up to speed quickly through an excellent series of speakers and workshops. Forum absolutely was critical in getting us to where we are today.

Jeff, Rei, Olivia and the entire Forum team are fantastic. I really enjoyed the 12 weeks we spent (virtually) with the cohort. Thank you to the Forum team for helping us transform clinical development.

The 100k is nice... but the real value comes from having the MDs on your team. Their perspective, energy, and introductions as you grow are worth the investment. Especially for first time founders who need someone to walk the journey with. I know in 4 years I can still call up Jeff and he'll jump on a sales call or help me wordsmith messaging.

I can't say enough good things about the folks at Forum. If you have a clear idea about something you need help with they will go out of their way to help you find a solution. We loved the instant community of talented and knowledgable people in our cohort and we'll maintain those relationships long after the program ends.

Forum was instrumental in providing us with the tools we needed to up level our business. We got invaluable support for all the things that matter to early stage founders - acquiring users, customer discovery, sales, and even expanding our network. The Forum team really cares, and takes the time to invest in your success. Founders, if you have the opportunity to join the Forum family, I'd highly recommend it!

Forum believed in CoProcure from its very earliest days, back when it was just me with a cray idea of how to shake up government procurement using technology. During the program, I connected with and learned from a cohort of awesome founders, built relationships with Forum's mentor network, and learned how to tell our story to investors and candidates. The Forum team and broader founder community continues to be helpful to CoProcure today and is a go-to resource for me as I have questions. If you're a founder of an early stage startup looking to move faster by learning from an incredible - and incredibly supportive - group of people, I recommend Forum!

Forum Ventures was amazing to work with hands-on operators, mentors and ex-operators. In a short while, we took our product that customers were excited about to messaging that customers loved. We formalized go to market plans, and improved our targeted pitch. Jeff and I were like cofounders brainstorming about GTM approaches, texting each other and figuring out our Product Market fit and GTM strategy. It was great to work with all of the MDs - Jeff, Jonah, James and finally Mike is the jackpot. If you get a chance to work with them, Just do it!

We were in the accelerator program in 2017 with Forum Ventures (then called Acceleprise). Since then, we've completed a merger, raised venture capital, and now we have a multi million $ business with more than 40 people around the world. The team at Forum, especially Mike, have been helpful to us every step along the way and we are so grateful for that. We have also gotten tremendous value out of the Forum community of founders. Building a startup is incredibly hard, but having the right team behind you can make it a lot easier.

Forum is a program that I could not recommend enough! The leadership knows the playbook and they are there to provide all the support you could dream of as you march towards your seed round. I also worked as an associate at a VC fund prior to being a founder so Ive had first hand exposure to all the major accelerators and what Forum does for their portfolio companies is a solid notch above the others.

Forum's accelerator program played a critical part in raising our seed round. The mentorship of the Forum partners helped prepped me for fundraising and their network helped close it. Would recommend the program to any founder!

Forum was one of the first checks into Indio and despite raising $28M over multiple rounds, they were often my first call to investors when I needed advice throughout our journey building the company.

Forum was instrumental in helping Hopthru get off the ground. Not only were they a huge resource in sales and hiring guidance -- they also have an outstanding network.

Forum is what took us from two engineers hacking away to two engineers hacking away BUT building a Unicorn. They were fundamental in helping us get to where we are today and seeing the growth, sales, and marketing side of the business. Would highly recommend working with them if you get the chance :).
