Our take
Sales operation is notoriously every organisation’s noisiest department, and one that has seen relatively little innovation thus far. There has been a widening gap in efficiency and optimisation for many of the functions that make up sales operations. Forma.ai, a compensation-focused AI software company, provides its customers with an avenue to improve general sales performance by enabling them to enhance sales performance activities through automation.
The company’s current niche focus is contrary to the wide-net approach that major industry players like Salesforce have taken, but Forma.ai is already proving to be a much needed product offering. It promises customers endless sales improvement solutions and implementation strategies - all using AI and end-to-end automation - and thus has secured several large clients such as TrustPilot, Autodesk, Redis, and Stryker.
The company has raised significant funding from investors who see the need for revolutionising the sector, most lately in 2022. It has achieved impressive revenue growth amid rapid enterprise adoption of its platform, and has plans to expand headcount, as well as accelerate product development and go-to-market initiatives to meet growing demand for its products.

Company values
- Work well, together. We’re real - We have kids and pets. Mortgages and student loans. We’re in this together, so no matter how brilliant any one of us is, we always play nice with one another, no exceptions
- Be precise. Be relentless - We believe complacency breeds failure, so we set new goals as quickly as we achieve them. We persist in the face of adversity, learn from our mistakes, and push each other to continuously improve. The status-quo is kryptonite
- Love our customers. Love our tech - We act as both advisers and operational partners to our customers. Their trust is earned starting day one, through integrity and putting them first. While everyone at Forma isn’t customer-facing, we’re all customer-focused. Maybe even slightly customer-obsessed
