RUNWAY

Capital Commitment

We invest more than our time. ForwardShare Capital invests in the ventures we collaborate, committing our financial resources in parallel with our human capital. We want everyone at the table carrying real upside – with the founder holding the largest share of it.

We Back Domain Expert Founders

ForwardShare Studio and Capital together focus on founders who have specific domain expertise that gives them a unique insight into how to solve industry-level problems. We have seen time and time again that the best solutions come from the individuals who face problems in their industry and are motivated to be the one who finds the solution. If you’re one of them, we’d love to talk.

We're open to conversations with accredited investors whose thinking overlaps with ours, and those happen directly. Nothing here is an offer or a solicitation.

A fund invests after there is a company and takes a board seat. A studio is in from the start, co-creating the venture and taking an operating role, so it understands the strategy, timing and opportunity from the inside out.

Our focus is the ventures that come out of our own Studio, where we are involved from the start. That is where our capital works hardest alongside our operating commitment.

Capital is committed in parallel with our human capital and sized to the stage and needs of each Studio venture. Talk to us about a specific situation.

Because we are in from the start and hold a larger share, the economics differ from a traditional fund. Most early failure comes from a company scaling before it knows what it has, and being inside from day one is how we manage that risk.
