Vetted-cohort matchmaking for DoD and SOF small business. The system pairs you with the right teaming partners and joint-venture candidates by archetype, clearance, and capability gaps. The room you want to be in, with the people who can actually fill your gaps.
Archetype matching is the core of FORGE. No NAICS bingo. No LinkedIn cold-DMs. The system reads your real posture and pairs you with companies whose gaps complement yours for teaming and joint ventures.
Take the quiz. We classify your company by mission posture, growth stage, and how you actually win work. Not the codes you registered for.
Cleared talent, facility clearance, ITAR exposure, CMMC level. We map your real access, not your aspirations.
What you need a teammate for. Pair-up suggestions surface within minutes of your profile going live.
Service-provider matching is a separate add-on. Toggle it on and FORGE surfaces a vetted bench of companies trusted in the community to handle the work small businesses can't do alone. Toggle it off and you only see teaming and JV matches. Your call, anytime.
Note. Archetype matching for teaming and joint ventures is core to FORGE. Service-provider matching is the optional layer on top.

Providers are recommended in, not paid in. Every directory entry has been used by a FORGE member who vouched for the work.
FORGE works because the room is curated. Each member can invite up to 3 companies they trust. Every applicant gets reviewed against the same criteria. We hold the line so the matches stay valuable.
Either currently performing, currently pursuing, or transitioning in. We want operators, not curious onlookers.
You can articulate your archetype, your clearance status, your set-asides, and the kind of teammates or providers you need.
Real registrations, real past performance (or a real plan), real points of contact. We verify before you're listed.
A referral from a current FORGE member, a documented prior teaming relationship, or evidence of standing in the SOF/DoD small-business community.
FORGE only works if members show up. You agree to keep your profile current, respond to matches in a reasonable window, and play straight with the people you pair with.
No body-shops harvesting cleared resumes. No vanity primes looking for free sub work. No lead-generators. We reject more than we accept, on purpose.
We're looking for serious businesses to pilot FORGE. If you're accepted, you get six months free, lifetime founders pricing, and three invitations to bring people you trust.
Founders pricing is one-way. If service lapses, you re-enter at the current market rate. This is the deal companies who go first get.
PROD X is built for small business, by small business. The pilot rate isn't a bait-and-switch. It's a marker. We don't believe in price-gouging the businesses who make this industry work. Pricing stays accessible after launch. Founders keep their rate forever. The platform you helped pilot will still be the one you can afford to use ten years from now.
