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 focused on bringing Voice AI to highly regulated industries. While general-purpose AI voice solutions are gaining traction, sectors like healthcare, finance, insurance, and commerce require specialized, compliance-driven applications. This platform will leverage advanced audio language models and real-time AI agents to automate documentation, streamline claims processing, and enhance customer interactions—all while meeting strict regulatory standards such as HIPAA and financial compliance.
What are we exploring?
Voice AI is revolutionizing customer interactions and workflow automation, yet highly regulated industries remain underserved. While horizontal AI voice solutions gain traction, sectors like healthcare, finance, insurance, and commerce require specialized, compliance-driven applications. From HIPAA-compliant clinical assistants to AI-powered fraud detection and secure voice authentication, the demand for tailored Voice AI solutions is rising.
We’re building industry-specific Voice AI applications that enhance efficiency while meeting strict regulatory standards. By leveraging advanced audio language models and real-time AI agents, our platform will automate documentation, streamline claims processing, and optimize customer interactions.
