About the role
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:
Enterprises bought the GPUs. Average utilization across production clusters still sits around 5% while finance is asking why effective AI infrastructure costs can run 20x the sticker price. Forum AI Studio https://www.forumvc.com/ai-studio is looking for a Founder exploring any of these themes:
Cost-per-useful-token / GPU finance attribution Workload-to-chip routing and inference economics Owned GPU CapEx, impairment, and hybrid burst ROI
Maybe you've run ML platform at a company spending $500K+/mo on GPUs and built the spreadsheet the CFO actually reads. Maybe you've sold into VP Platform and Finance buyers and know what makes renewal conversations survivable. Whichever version of this you've lived, you understand the unit economics well enough to know what product would actually fit the buyer. 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 AI infrastructure, GPU/cloud economics, ML platform engineering, or enterprise FP&A for compute spend 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.
Please note, this is not an employment opportunity with Forum Ventures. If you are currently fundraising your pre-seed or Seed round, please pitch our investment team instead here.
