Studio Founder-in-Residence
Forum's Venture Studio brings together ambitious people, brilliant ideas, and capital to build the best B2B SaaS businesses in the world, from 0 to 1. In addition to capital and an idea, we provide founders with access to investor networks, fundraising support, and the resources needed to build transformational companies. Our model is designed to help you move faster, develop better insights, and build companies that have a higher success rate than startups built in any other way.
We’re looking for a Founder/CEO to build a security auditing platform purpose-built for MCP (Model Context Protocol), the emerging standard for AI agents to discover and execute tools autonomously.
What are we exploring?
As MCP becomes foundational to enterprise AI systems, vulnerabilities in MCP-powered agents pose significant security risks, from credential leaks to harmful, unintended tool executions. Yet today, there’s no dedicated platform to audit, validate, and monitor MCP-based agent workflows.
The opportunity is to build the first integrated MCP security layer: proactively identifying vulnerabilities, ensuring compliance with safety standards, and embedding guardrails into the MCP lifecycle from development through deployment.
With MCP adoption accelerating across major platforms (Microsoft, OpenAI, Postman), a specialized safety infrastructure provider is both timely and critical to enabling safe, enterprise-scale AI automation.
Forum derisks and accelerates the Founder path by:
A $250K USD investment, and an end-to-end fundraising playbook and network to raise your seed and Series A
A validation partner with proven playbooks, networks, and the systems to validate, unlock your ICP, ignite your sales pipeline, and beyond
The support of our experienced operating team – from business design, product development, growth, recruitment, legal, and more
Executing a winning GTM strategy to get to $50–100K ARR, and building the right MVP to ensure early traction
A community full of mentors, peers, and leaders
$100K worth of business perks
About you
Strong technical background in AI infrastructure, security, or developer tooling
