We believe in the power of entrepreneurship. For nearly 250 years, visionary founders have driven the American Dream forward with humanity altering innovations, technology, and the creation of unparalleled wealth.
We also believe in data.
Not all founders have the same opportunity to access the meritocracy of entrepreneurship. Barriers like early access to funding, limited network, and knowledge gaps, curb the ability of many potential founders to take risks, unleash their creativity, and bet on themselves. Which hurts our economic and social progress.
As entrepreneurs, investors, technologists, and military officers, we’ve borne witness to the generational trajectory changes that can be had by investing resources, knowledge and effort into people. There is nothing like it.
This is why we’ve built VentureForge. We’re driven by the belief that every founder, regardless of background, deserves a shot at forging their venture and their part of the American Dream.
Our thesis is simple:
By bridging the gaps in network, community and funding access, we democratize wealth creation and fuel the next generation of founders.
Since our earliest days, a forge was a place where humans excelled in our ability to take raw materials and, through work and effort, forge them into a more valuable version of itself. That’s what we do.
It takes courage to be a founder, to put yourself on the line for something you believe in. To open yourself and your vision to criticisms, doubters and those who themselves lack the courage step into the arena. We know this because we are founders too.
We look forward to going through the forge with you!
Venture boldy, forge ahead!
Instead of buzzwords that get glossed over, we wanted to share the guiding inspirations that have shaped our personal and professional lives that we have built VentureForge around. The theme- action- we are a company of where work and impact happens. If these align with yours, we would love to work with you.
Judge us not with what we say or the flashy material on these pages, but how we act, how we treat people and what we attach our family names to. We will do the same for you.
Our successes and failures don’t come from nowhere. They are a byproduct of a series of decision points and choices made along the way that culminate in answering the question “did we do the work?”
Actions, no matter how small, are windows into broader values, habits, and discipline of one’s character. Treat the mundane, baby steps with the same respect and diligence as the end goal.
