AI Founder, Real World Data

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. Utilities, dams, bridges, and fiber buildouts still 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

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 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 domain expertise in geospatial capture, civil infrastructure, utility asset management, or infrastructure finance

• 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.
