FoundersForge is UIV’s community for early-stage founders — built around the conversations, knowledge and connections that don’t show up anywhere else.
FoundersForge is built around one belief: the hardest parts of building a company are rarely technical. They’re about judgment, timing, people and markets — and those things are best learned from founders who’ve already made the mistakes.
We curate the conversations, the knowledge and the connections that our portfolio founders actually need — at the stage they’re actually at.
Candid conversations with seasoned founders and operators, and professionals. Not keynotes — working sessions on specific problems at specific stages.

In-depth sector research combining portfolio learnings, founder experience and market data. Built for founders making strategic decisions, not for press releases.

Access to founders across 12 sectors who are building through the same challenges. The kind of honest conversation that doesn’t happen in public.

Founders Forge is open to UIV portfolio companies and select early-stage founders who are actively building. Not a mailing list. A working community.
We invite you to join FoundersForge as builders in deeptech. Submit your details and we’ll be in touch.
