Frequently asked questions
How does Forward Venture Capital source its deals?
Forward does not disclose a proprietary sourcing engine. The firm's website frames relationships as the foundation of outcomes — "Great outcomes begin with great relationships" — and its lean public footprint, combined with a US-Europe mandate, points to founder-network-driven origination rather than an institutionalized outbound program. No dedicated platform team or sector-specialist structure is advertised.
Who runs investment decisions at Forward Venture Capital?
Forward does not publicly name its investment committee, general partners, or principals. The firm's website has a contact form in place of a team page, and no executive identities appear in available regulatory or media sources.
Which sectors does Forward Venture Capital explicitly avoid?
No explicit negative screens are published. The firm calls itself tech- and industry-agnostic, though its portfolio shows concentration in enterprise software, digital health, climate, and digital commerce. Sectors such as hard biotech, defense, or traditional heavy industry are absent from disclosed holdings.
