AI Founder, AI Compute

What We're Looking At:

• The cloud giants spent two decades convincing enterprises to move everything off-prem, but AI is reversing that for a significant share of compute.
• Data sovereignty, latency, regulatory constraints, and the math of owning GPUs beating renting after 18 months are pushing workloads back on-premises and to the edge.
• Enterprises want a cloud-like experience on hardware they control, not a return to 1990s IT.

Forum Derisks and Accelerates the Founder Path By:

• A $250K USD investment, plus an end-to-end fundraising playbook and network to raise your seed and Series A.
• A validation partner with proven playbooks, networks, and systems to validate, unlock your ICP, and ignite your sales pipeline.
• The support of an experienced operating team in business design, product development, growth, recruitment, legal, and more.

About You:

• Early-stage operator experience with a proven track record of building, selling, and navigating the AI infrastructure and compute platform world.
• You may have run ML platform or infrastructure teams deploying inference across cloud, neocloud, and owned GPU or edge hardware.
• A desire to be a venture-backed founder, based in Canada or US, and able to collaborate in North American time zones.
