ForgeUp also provides access to a curated partner network (legal, payroll, HR, banking, marketing, and AI specialists) at preferential rates. We run three to four cohorts annually, each supporting 4–8 startups, with equity aligned so success is shared long-term. 👉 Ideal for: AI/ML and advanced-tech ventures with strong founders, defensible tech, and clear paths to PMF.
