Forum operates a NYC-based marketplace that connects people with facilitator-led peer support groups covering grief, loneliness, chronic conditions, substance use recovery, caregiving, relationships, and career. Co-founded in 2022 by Rajiv Kumar, MD, and President Lee Pichette, the platform equips facilitators with tools to create, grow, and manage their groups. Facilitators undergo a vetting process based on education, skills, and experience and complete formal onboarding and training, receiving longitudinal feedback and professional development. The platform’s tools reduce administrative burden so more facilitators can pursue helping people and generate a new income stream. Forum has grown rapidly since founding and intends to use the new funding to expand operations and broaden its business reach.
