About Bocar Dia

Mike Cardamone was among the first 30 employees at Box where he gained hands-on go-to-market experience before becoming an investor, and he built Forum Ventures from scratch on the West Coast as a B2B SaaS-focused accelerator and fund. He has overseen investments in hundreds of B2B SaaS companies and regularly shares tactical execution advice drawn from both his operator background and pattern recognition from accelerator cycles, positioning himself as a specialist in the "accelerator VC" model rather than a traditional seed investor.
