In their words
Forum is building the first exchange to trade on cultural attention. We create indices from search, social, and streaming data to measure what the world cares about, enabling users to go long or short on changes in relevance. Attention is the primary driver of business success in the digital age, but it has never been directly tradable. Forum introduces attention as a new asset class for managing cultural and demand risk.
What the record says
- One of 23 companies held here in Fintech.
No investor is drawn from a Form D — the form states how many invested and never who. The one investor on this graph is named because a batch has exactly one.

Is this you?
If you're behind Forum: acceptance into a YC batch is one of the few weeks a young company gets looked up by people who matter — investors, other founders, press. FoxPlug turns the commits, deploys, and releases you're already making into that story automatically, so anyone who looks finds something current. FoxChat puts a guide on your own site so the people YC's own page just sent you don't read one line and leave.
