Forward Management

No. Forward Management is an association management firm, not an investment manager. It provides operational services — membership management, event production, marketing, communications, and PAC fundraising — to trade associations and nonprofit foundations. There is no evidence of AUM, investment activity, or capital deployment of any kind.

Matthew Peralta is the owner and the sole named decision-maker. He holds the Certified Association Executive (CAE) designation from ASAE and has a decade of experience managing trade associations in the physician and commercial real estate sectors. The firm's website lists no other principals or staff.

The firm serves trade associations and nonprofit foundations, with disclosed experience in physician societies like the California Society of Anesthesiologists and commercial real estate groups like BOMA Silicon Valley. Clients are membership-based organizations that need professional management for day-to-day operations, governance meetings, and advocacy efforts.

Forward Management is a boutique services firm headquartered in Silicon Valley, structured as an owner-operated business under Matthew Peralta. It is not a family office, venture capital firm, or investment partnership. Revenue comes from service fees and management retainers paid by client associations, not from asset-based fees or performance allocations.

There is no disclosed relationship to any investment entity, family office, or capital pool. Forward Management's sole business is providing administrative and strategic management services to nonprofit trade associations. It does not co-invest, advise on capital allocation, or maintain any investment vehicles.

The firm is headquartered in San Francisco and serves clients in Northern California's Silicon Valley region. Disclosed client relationships — including BOMA Silicon Valley and the California Society of Anesthesiologists — are concentrated in California, with no evidence of operations outside the state.

Matthew Peralta is an ASAE-Certified Association Executive with over ten years of experience serving trade associations and nonprofit foundations. Before founding Forward Management, he held senior staff roles at the California Society of Anesthesiologists and managed operations for BOMA Silicon Valley, where he increased membership participation and government affairs activity.
