Pre Seed Fund

Forum Ventures operates a pre-seed investment fund specifically designed for B2B technology ventures, with a strong focus on B2B SaaS (Software as a Service) and Artificial Intelligence companies. As a prominent venture capital firm, Forum Ventures aims to simplify the journey for founders of early-stage B2B software, offering practical assistance, strategic guidance, and deep industry knowledge.

Recognizing the crucial role of initial development phases for long-term success, Forum Ventures provides more than just capital. They integrate startups into a supportive ecosystem. The fund offers investments of up to ₹90,000,000 to selected startups. This capital infusion is intended to help founders innovate, validate their market fit, and build scalable businesses.

The investment supports comprehensive company building, assisting startups in gaining market traction, accelerating development, and successfully reaching their next fundraising milestone, such as a Seed or Series A round. Funds can be utilized for essential operational growth and development, including:

• Product creation
• Team expansion
• Initial marketing efforts
• Customer acquisition strategies

Beyond financial backing, Forum Ventures provides extensive infrastructure and resources, leveraging its established accelerator program.
