The Forum Accelerator

The Forum Accelerator is a B2B tech accelerator program built by founders, for founders, offering pre-seed funding and hands-on guidance to early-stage B2B software companies. The program provides $100,000 USD in pre-seed funding and acts as a fractional co-founder, offering unusually hands-on guidance, a supportive community, and a tailored approach to help startups achieve meaningful traction and become fundraise-ready. Participants gain access to 200 mentors and advisors, a community of 1300 founders, and a network of 750 co-investors. The accelerator provides step-by-step guidance to build a category-defining, VC-backed company, including customer introductions to a network of 300+ F500 and F1000 companies, fundraise support (having helped portfolio companies raise over $1B), and VC introductions to 250+ global investors. Additionally, founders benefit from an active community, operational resources in Finance, HR, Operations, and Marketing, and over $100,000 in business perks from leading platforms. The program is designed for B2B software companies in any vertical at the early-stage (pre-seed) of their journey, who have taken on less than $500,000 in funding and have or are about to have an MVP in market. They seek passionate, driven, and coachable founders with strong founder-market fit.
