Our model is designed to help you move faster, develop better insights, and build companies that have a higher success rate than startups built in any other way.We’re looking for a Founder/CEO to build an AI-native platform that automates supplier certification, origin auditing, and compliance — helping enterprises ensure sourcing transparency and reduce regulatory risk.What are we exploring?Enterprises in industries like aerospace, defense, and industrial manufacturing face growing pressure to comply with regulations such as Buy America and UFLPA — yet their supplier compliance processes remain heavily manual. Teams still extract part numbers and serials by hand, parse scanned certificates, and review unverifiable supplier-reported data.With a surge in detained shipments and a compliance software market projected to surpass $9.5B by 2031, the need for automation is urgent.The opportunity is to build an agentic execution layer that continuously validates origin and certification data against trade rules, flags inconsistencies, and generates audit-ready records — enabling enterprises to shift from reactive audits to proactive, automated compliance.As supply chain transparency, supplier diversity, and ethical sourcing become board-level priorities, this is a clear whitespace where automation can deliver significant operational value and risk reduction.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 AA validation partner with proven playbooks, networks, and the systems to validate, unlock your ICP, ignite your sales pipeline, and beyondThe support of our experienced operating team - from business design, product development, growth, recruitment, legal and moreExecuting a winning GTM strategy to get to $50-100K ARR, and the right MVP to ensure early tractionA community full of mentors, peers, and leaders$100K worth of business perksAbout you:Early-stage operator experience, and expertise in one or more of the following areas: product development, business, or a domain expertThe ability to attract, hire and lead world-class teamsA demonstrated passion for technology’s ability to change the worldA desire to be a venture-backed founderAbility to collaborate in North American time zonesPlease note, this is not an employment opportunity with Forum Ventures.
