Founders, entrepreneurs, and professionals operate in an environment that is defined through money, power, fame, and pedigree. This can lead to professionals that have a sense of purpose in their personal lives, to feel uniquely unfulfilled in their professional environment. They try to derive purpose through loose organic networks that connect haphazardly, limiting our collective impact and scale on business success and societal challenges. 

The irony is that we are surrounded by community interacting with family and friends on a daily basis. Why can’t we take that scale derived from our value systems, and apply it to our careers, our institutions, and our communities? That is the mission of Forerunners.

Forerunners (for-run-ners) is a term derived from the arabic term, sa-bi-qoon, and reflects the early adopters, visionaries, and trailblazers that help lay the path for transformation.  

As an entity, Forerunners is a community that invites executives, entrepreneurs, and founders who are aspiring to doing their work from a higher level of consciousness translate those values into existing and new ventures, and facilitate connection and collaboration to scale.

In our current environment, we think Forerunners are:

• Truth-Seekers that do not presume that we have the answers, but instead search for answers from faith, experience, and collaboration.

• Unifiers that seek to align our work with our purpose.

• Initiators that desire to do good just because it is good, not because of an expectation of material gain.

• Builders who are not content with just talk, but are willing to back it up with action to build ventures that transform society for good.

• Scalers that want to maximize their impact the impact of their ventures to serve as many people as possible.

If these values speak to you, we invite you to join our community!
