Food
Breweries, coffee, spirits and chocolate, plus the technology that moves food and drink from source to shelf with less waste and more margin.
Venture Capital
Backing the builders who bring software and hardware solutions to life.
Forbee invests in early-stage companies applying modern software and hardware to food, finance, lending, property and distribution.
Where we invest
Five sectors where deep operating knowledge, good software and well-built hardware compound. We look for founders who understand the workflow as well as the technology.
Fintech
Payments, treasury and back-office tooling that makes financial operations faster, cheaper and auditable.
Lendtech
Lending platforms, servicing and credit infrastructure that put capital to work with better data and less friction.
Property Tech
Industrial real estate and the software that turns warehouses and production facilities into well-run, well-measured businesses.
Distribution Tech
Distribution automation, routing and inventory systems for the distributors that keep regional economies supplied.
How we work
We are operators first. Our capital comes with the practical help of people who have shipped software, deployed hardware and run the businesses that depend on both.
Software and hardware diligence
We read the code, handle the hardware and talk to the customers. We back teams whose technology is real, not slideware.
Patient, hands-on capital
We invest early and stay involved, from architecture reviews to introductions across our network of operating companies.
Real-industry focus
We have invested across breweries, coffee, spirits and chocolate, industrial real estate and distribution automation, lending and fintech. We prefer businesses with cash flow to businesses with only a story.
