AI that works for your business

At Common Forge Ventures, we specialize in rapid AI deployment, leveraging proven tools, templates, and models to create practical, high-impact solutions without the overhead of a full-time software team. Our approach goes beyond experimentation, orchestrating LLMs and automation workflows to streamline decision-making, optimize operations, and deliver measurable business results.

HOW WE BUILD

A clear path to real value

Step 1
Define an Approachable Business Opportunity & Build a Rapid Prototype
  • Identify one high-impact, narrow area where AI will drive value.
  • Build a functional prototype rapidly to show Proof of Value (PoV).
  • Leverage real data and pilot with real users to inform change functional and change management requirements.
Key Questions: Does AI make this task faster, easier, or more accurate? Does it do something that we couldn’t previously do?
Example: A sales team struggles with lead scoring. We build an AI-native workflow that uses the OpenAI API inside Clay and structured prompts to rank leads based on historical conversion rates and website scraping.
Step 2
Expand Prototype & Validate ROI
  • Deploy to multiple users or across larger datasets.
  • Stress test the model: identify edge cases, bad predictions, or data issues.
  • Collect feedback from users to assess usability and adoption.
  • Measure ROI: Does this tool save time, reduce errors, or create new insights?

Key Questions: Can more than one person use this tool effectively to solve problems? Is the value created by the new tool quantifiable in any way?
Example: The AI lead-scoring model expands from one salesperson to the entire sales team. If it improves lead conversion by 20%, we move forward.
Step 3
Architect & Build a Production-Ready AI Tool or Workflow
  • Refine the tool or workflow architecture based on previously gathered data.
  • Integrate AI into existing enterprise tools (e.g., CRM, ERP, internal dashboards).
  • Build a scalable, secure, and automated system.
  • Implement guardrails (e.g., error handling, compliance, audit logs).

Key Questions: Can this AI solution be deployed reliably at scale across the business?
Example: The AI lead-scoring tool is now fully integrated into Salesforce, automatically ranking new leads as they enter the system
Step 4
Train Users, Iterate, and Improve
  • Onboard and train new users to ensure adoption.
  • Stress test the model: identify edge cases, bad predictions, or data issues.
  • Continuously collect feedback and refine based on real-world use.
  • Add new capabilities or optimize based on user behavior.
  • Establish AI governance to ensure performance, compliance, and ethical use.
Key Questions: Are people using it, and is it continuously improving business performance?
Example: The sales team gets trained on AI lead scoring, feedback shows a need for industry-specific tweaks, and the model is updated to prioritize high-value leads.

Client Success Stories

From Manual Coordination to a Complete Peer Group Operating System

Driven by the inefficiencies inherent in manual peer group management, including time-consuming scheduling, communication, and engagement tracking, a new solution was conceived. The founders, experienced peer group leaders, aimed to create a technology platform that alleviates logistical burdens and improves the overall peer group experience. With support from Common Forge Ventures, the platform, known as Peer Group Tools (PGT), is operational and supporting peer groups today. The focus is on refining the core product and establishing product-market fit prior to its launch as an independent company.

From Mission Coordination to Scalable Volunteer Management

Altruist was designed to solve one of the most persistent challenges in the nonprofit space—volunteer coordination. While nonprofits rely heavily on volunteer support, the administrative burden of scheduling, communication, and engagement often limits their ability to maximize impact.With a vision to empower volunteer coordinators as “mission multipliers,” Common Forge built a fully-functional web-application that combined technical innovation with a deep understanding of nonprofit needs. By automating time-consuming tasks, providing seamless scheduling tools, and integrating engagement features, Altruist allowed organizations to focus on what truly matters—expanding their mission and serving their communities.

From Buyer Verification to AI-Powered M&A Intelligence

Vequity.ai began as a solution to streamline business acquisitions by improving buyer verification and deal flow for brokers. Initially focused on qualifying and vetting buyers, the platform quickly evolved to meet a greater market need—providing AI-driven M&A intelligence to help advisors identify strategic buyers and maximize deal valuations. With the support of our engineering and design teams, Vequity.ai was incubated from concept to a fully functional, market-ready platform. Today, following a successful seed funding round led by Common Forge Ventures, Vequity.ai is an independent company, expanding its capabilities and reshaping M&A deal sourcing.
