Our Vision
Venture Forge Austin exists to fuel the growth of the Kingdom economy by investing in transformative, faith-driven entrepreneurship. Our vision is to become the go-to hub where faith-driven capital, ventures, and leaders meet and collaborate for Kingdom impact.
Great ventures aren't simply launched — they're forged. Like a blacksmith shapes raw steel through heat, pressure, and skilled craftsmanship, Venture Forge brings together entrepreneurs, mentors, investors, and a community of faith to refine bold ideas into businesses that create lasting value.
We believe work is a God-given calling, and that when the sparks of innovation meet the fire of generosity, wisdom, and investment, ventures are forged that transform lives, strengthen communities, and advance the common good.
"Venture Forge exists to unite and mobilize Austin's faith-driven ecosystem by accelerating Kingdom-minded ventures, equipping founders, connecting capital with calling, and celebrating innovative solutions that advance human flourishing and the Kingdom of God."
Our vision is to be Austin's go-to hub where faith-driven capital, ventures, and leaders meet and collaborate for Kingdom impact. Each year, we gather investors, entrepreneurs, and Kingdom-minded leaders for two days of candid conversation, shared conviction, and real collaboration. The goal is not spectacle; it is partnership.
Austin — a city of builders, dreamers, and doers — is our home. Two days here, once a year, can reshape the trajectory of the next decade.
Venture Forge Statement of Faith
We believe the Bible is the inspired and completely trustworthy Word of God — the ultimate authority for faith and life.
We believe in one God, who exists eternally as three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
We believe that Jesus Christ is fully God. He was born of a virgin, lived without sin, performed miracles, and died in our place to pay for our sins. He rose bodily from the dead, ascended to the Father, and will one day return in power and glory.
We believe the Holy Spirit lives within every believer, giving them the strength and guidance to live a life that honors God.
We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.
