We develop
exceptional partnerships

We are personally invested in each other's success. We know that great outcomes come from diverse teams.

We believe
character matters

We embrace personal integrity, humility and citizenship. We act with empathy and conviction.

We turn ✨ vision into value

We challenge
conventional thinking

We think differently. We nurture a culture of deeply objective inquiry and seek the full potential in every opportunity. We respect the power of facts.

We work
with tenacity

We roll up our sleeves, dig in, and come to work every day searching for better outcomes. We relentlessly tackle tough problems. We see things through.

Everything we do at Forus Capital is built around being useful to founders. Money is part of that, but so is hiring, leadership, product and customers. We want to have a system-wide impact and that starts by helping our partners succeed.

Our Rule #1

We want founders to feel supported as humans first, and as business leaders second.

Relationships Come First

Relationships are our most valuable resource. We support founders throughout their creative lives, often with multiple investments in their companies.

We move fast

Typically between a couple of days to a couple of weeks from first conversation to term sheet. We work for our founders timelines.

Patient capital

If we choose to invest, we’re with you for the long term — for your company’s lifecycle. We aren’t driven by artificial milestones or deadlines.

We know exactly what kind of people we are looking for. Having a big idea matters, but being the person who can bring it to life is even more important.

That's why

we invest in experts — true geniuses who are the best at what they do.

Our goal is to empower the world’s most talented entrepreneurs. Building a company takes more than money. It takes creativity, collaboration, and heart. That’s why we invest heavily in resources to help our Founders and their teams reach their full potential.

We believe entrepreneurship can change the world. And aspire to invest in people and teams that share, embody, and promote these values.
