We invest in 75+ early-stage companies annually across North America, backing ambitious founders with capital, hands-on support, and a deep founder community.

We’re a tight-knit team of operators, investors, and builders who love this work and genuinely care about the founders we support. You'll have meaningful ownership, direct exposure to deals, and the opportunity to shape how we invest and scale in the years to come.
Forum recruits, employs, trains, compensates and promotes regardless of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, disability, age, veteran status, and other protected status' as required by applicable law.
Forum’s dedication to promoting diversity, multiculturalism, equity and inclusion is more than a commitment- it is the foundation of what we do. And thus we strongly encourage people from ALL backgrounds to apply to this position.
