Forum's Venture Studio is a leading early-stage fund and program for B2B SaaS startups. Starting a company is demanding, complex, and psychologically challenging. As former founders and early-stage operators, we understand firsthand that Founders need support, honest feedback, and someone who truly cares in their corner.
Our mission is to make the journey easier and more successful for Founders, and we've achieved this by making over 350+ seed investments that have raised $600M+ in follow-on funding. Forum founders have gone on to raise from funds like Andreessen Horowitz, NEA, Uncork Capital, 8VC, Founders Fund, Menlo Ventures, Canaan, Bowery Capital, Susa Ventures, SV Angel, and more.
We’re looking for a Founder/CEO to lead a venture developing a verticalized AI Workforce Operating System for agent orchestration. This tailored solution addresses high-stakes industries by providing transparency, accountability, and workflow management tailored to regulatory compliance.
What are we exploring?
The market for multi-agent orchestration is accelerating, with over 60% of enterprise AI implementations expected to include agentic AI capabilities by 2025. Despite this growth, existing solutions remain immature—hampered by complexity, limited transparency, and a lack of industry-specific focus. These challenges create significant adoption hurdles, particularly in high-stakes industries like healthcare and finance, where accuracy and accountability are paramount.
The opportunity lies in developing a verticalized AI Workforce Operating System that delivers robust, agent orchestration tailored to compliance-heavy sectors. By moving beyond experimental and black-box frameworks, this solution would offer enterprises full visibility into agent operations, decision-making, and collaboration. With the competitive landscape still in its early stages, this is a prime moment to innovate. While early efforts focused on conversational AI orchestration, the next frontier will center on workflow orchestration customized for the stringent requirements of regulated industries.
