The pre-seed journey is intense. You're building, iterating, and likely feeling a mix of excitement and pressure. You know your B2B startup has potential, especially if you’re leveraging the power of AI to build compelling products or agentic workflows. But the big question looming over every early-stage founder is: Are we on the right track for funding?

We've been where you are. We’re all previous B2B SaaS founders who have successfully raised multiple funding rounds. We also support over 50 founders with their pre-seed fundraise each year. We’ve seen what works, and what doesn't, when it comes to getting that crucial first check. We also deeply understand the current fundraising market and what will make an investor lean in. That’s why we built a straightforward tool to give you an unbiased, data-driven look at your current position.

Why guess when you can get a data-driven funding prediction?

The common wisdom about fundraising is often obvious and/or vague. “Get more traction.” “Get to this next milestone first”, “Network constantly. Build your investor list. Get warm intros. Follow up strategically and meaningfully.” These things are true, but they don't tell you where your specific startup stands right now

If you’re building an AI tool or any kind of innovative B2B software, you're moving fast, and you need feedback that's just as fast and sharp. Our AI-powered analysis cuts through the uncertainty. We've taken patterns from hundreds of successful, funded startups—including our own deep data from a decade of investing—to create a framework that can help you see your journey more clearly.

How can ai help predict your startup’s funding potential?

This isn't just a simple quiz. Our proprietary model works by comparing your core fundamentals against the specific data points that signaled success for previous early-stage companies.

What do you need to share to get your report?

We keep it quick and founder-friendly—you can complete the form in under two minutes. We’re focused on the essential ingredients that every pre-seed investor evaluates:

  • Your Idea and Product: The problem you're solving and how your B2B or AI solution addresses it.
  • Your Team: Who you are, your unique experience, and why you are the right people to build this specific business.
  • Market Context: The size of the opportunity and your approach to it.
  • Early Traction: Any initial evidence—customer discovery, prototype feedback, or lightweight revenue—that shows you’re in motion.

What happens when AI does the work?

Once you submit your details, our system gets to work, analyzing your inputs against patterns of success and failure in the pre-seed funding ecosystem. It looks for correlations, strengths, and potential gaps, all informed by Forum Ventures’ deep experience in the zero-to-one journey for B2B startups.

What will my personalized report tell me?

Your report will deliver more than just a score. You'll receive:

  1. Predicted Success: An honest, data-backed prediction of your current odds at each key funding milestone as well as insights up to your Series A raise.
  2. Recommended Playbooks: Clear, actionable steps to Forum’s founder resources, from go-to-market strategy to fundraising and how to grow your AI startup
  3. Valuation Tool: Valuation often gets confusing. You’ll get access to our valuation tool to find out how much your startup is objectively worth today.

Stop trying to read the tea leaves. Get your funding prediction and personalized recommendations today. We want you to feel confident, not confused, about your path to funding.
