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
Venture Forge is a Christ-centered community committed to equipping entrepreneurs, investors, and innovators to steward their gifts for the glory of God and the flourishing of others.
We believe in one God, eternally existing as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; in Jesus Christ, fully God and fully man, whose sinless life, sacrificial death, bodily resurrection, ascension, and promised return provide the only hope of salvation for humanity. We believe the Bible is the inspired, authoritative Word of God, revealing His character, His purposes, and His plan for redemption.
We believe every person is created in the image of God with inherent dignity and worth, yet all have sinned and are in need of God's saving grace, which is offered through faith in Jesus Christ alone. We believe the Holy Spirit empowers believers to live faithfully and to serve God's Kingdom in every sphere of life.
While we partner with individuals and organizations from diverse Christian traditions, we are united by these historic truths and a shared commitment to cultivate ventures that solve meaningful problems, advance human flourishing, and reflect the love, wisdom, and redemptive purposes of God.
