Your real odds
Forerunner manages $3B AUM and has built a selective portfolio since 2012, so acceptance rates are low and fit to their thesis matters more than volume.
No public data exists on pitches reviewed or acceptance rates, and the firm weighs judgment and conviction heavily, meaning a strong idea in the wrong category gets passed over fast.

Worth knowing
Forerunner publishes detailed investment theses and perspective pieces, so reading them before you pitch gives you their exact language around category creation and consumer behavior, which they expect founders to already share.
