— How It Works

From application to paying client.

01
Apply to a Drop

Submit your deck, pricing, and compliance posture. Free to apply. We review within 5 business days.

02
Get selected

If selected, you’re listed in the Forge Drop catalog with your pilot scope, setup time, and LLM-privacy tier.

03
Run the pilot

90 days, structured. 30/60/90-day scorecards generated automatically. Your champion stays engaged.

04
Convert or get feedback

68% of pilots convert to annual contracts. If not, you get full buyer feedback — more valuable than most paid discovery calls.

— Startup Benefits

What you get as a selected startup.

Warm enterprise intro

No cold outreach. Your pilot champion is a real department head with budget authority and a signed MPA.

Structured 90-day timeline

30/60/90 scorecards keep the pilot on track. You always know where you stand.

Pilot pricing you set

You propose the pilot price ($750–$5K range). We never take a cut of the pilot fee.

One legal agreement

The Master Pilot Agreement is pre-signed by the buyer. No legal back-and-forth before you start.

Cohort benchmarks

If 5+ buyers pilot the same startup, you get anonymized comparative data on adoption and ROI.

NextForge OS access

Full access to the AI strategy tools — pitch builder, survey designer, strategy memo — to support your pilot delivery.

— Selection Criteria

What we look for.

We select 10–15 startups per quarter. We evaluate on four dimensions:

  • Product maturity — Working product, not a deck. You can onboard a buyer in ≤ 2 weeks.
  • Latam market fit — You serve or can serve companies in BR, MX, CO, AR, CL, PE.
  • Compliance posture — SOC 2, ISO 27001, or equivalent in progress. Clear LLM-privacy tier.
  • Corporate buyer fit — Addresses a pain point that a department head (not just a CIO) will champion.
