Build your first enterprise client.
In 90 days.
NextForge connects Latam startups with the corporate departments that need exactly what you’ve built. No cold outreach. No 18-month sales cycles. A 90-day pilot, a real champion, and a conversion path — or you walk with full feedback.
— How It Works
From application to paying client.
Apply to a Drop
Submit your deck, pricing, and compliance posture. Free to apply. We review within 5 business days.
Get selected
If selected, you’re listed in the Forge Drop catalog with your pilot scope, setup time, and LLM-privacy tier.
Run the pilot
90 days, structured. 30/60/90-day scorecards generated automatically. Your champion stays engaged.
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.
No cold outreach. Your pilot champion is a real department head with budget authority and a signed MPA.
30/60/90 scorecards keep the pilot on track. You always know where you stand.
You propose the pilot price ($750–$5K range). We never take a cut of the pilot fee.
The Master Pilot Agreement is pre-signed by the buyer. No legal back-and-forth before you start.
If 5+ buyers pilot the same startup, you get anonymized comparative data on adoption and ROI.
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.
