Growth Forge overview

What is Growth Forge?

Growth Forge® is a SaaS platform that guides founders, startup teams, and innovation project leads through developing and stress-testing their new-business strategy. It exposes the choices and assumptions that make or break new ventures — and gives you financial modeling tools that don't require Excel mastery or strategic finance expertise.

Built on BRI Associates' decades of practitioner experience in corporate innovation and new business development (originating in Intel's New Business Incubator), Growth Forge operationalizes an integrated synthesis of leading strategy and innovation frameworks — drawing on the work of Hambrick, Christensen, Moore, Tushman, Osterwalder, IDEO, and the broader iterative methodology canon (Lean Startup, Design Thinking, Discovery-Driven Planning, Stage-Gate).

Instead of cobbling together PowerPoint templates and Excel models, you get one integrated platform: structured guidance for hypothesis development, evaluation across desirability, feasibility, and viability, and disciplined stage-gate decisions with the four canonical outcomes — Continue, Pivot, Pause, Stop.

Designed for founders launching their first new venture and for innovation project leads inside larger organizations who need rigor without the overhead of enterprise tooling.
