Forge Innovation & Technology Culture

Forge is highly innovative because it is building technology infrastructure for a private market that is more transparent, accessible and seamless. Its platform combines liquidity solutions, exclusive data and insights, custody capabilities and a marketplace, and that infrastructure has already supported trading in private shares from more than 500 companies across more than $12 billion in transaction volume. The company continues to expand that edge through proprietary products such as Forge Pro, which brings advanced institutional trading capabilities and deep analytics into one platform, and Forge Price, a pricing model for pre-IPO, venture-backed late-stage companies designed to improve how private market valuations, benchmarking and indexing are understood.

Innovation at Forge is also built into how teams work. The company operates with values of being bold, humble and accountable, and its teams are structured to be self-enabled, learning-oriented and empowered to make decisions. Engineering emphasizes psychological safety, open feedback, continuous improvement, recurring retrospectives and knowledge sharing, while the business is investing in data, AI and analytics leadership to support additional AI initiatives and the next generation of software and processes in private markets.
