About Bocar Dia

Bocar Dia is a venture investor at Forum Ventures who spent seven years as part of Hootsuite's founding enterprise team, helping grow the company from zero revenue to over $150M in annual sales, with hands-on experience closing six and seven-figure deals in regulated industries. He spends roughly 70% of his time working directly with founders as a fractional sales co-founder, teaching them to treat early customer engagements as service-style design work to validate problems before packaging solutions as traditional SaaS revenue.

$100K - Pre Seed; $250K - $750K - Seed

Forum Ventures is one of the few early-stage firms that combines three distinct offerings for B2B founders: a flagship accelerator, an AI-focused venture studio that co-creates companies from scratch, and a traditional pre-seed fund that can follow on into both accelerator and studio companies as well as external deals. The firm is unusually "people-heavy" with ~40 team members including five Partners and three Managing Directors devoted to support, allowing them to behave more like an embedded extension of the founding team than a traditional capital-only pre-seed fund.
