Announcing Cohort 5

We are happy to announce the 8 companies of our 5th Cohort, who span a number of exciting verticals and high growth areas. We welcome these companies from California, NYC, London, Manila, and elsewhere – our most geographically diverse group to date.  They will spend the next few months hustling, iterating, and growing their businesses with Forum Ventures. We are excited to be working closely with all of them!
