Forging order from early-stage chaos.
Forge Operating Partners helps founder-led ABA therapy and behavioral health companies identify, build, and implement the processes, systems, and standards that let a practice scale from startup to $3–5MM in revenue — sustainably and predictably. We work alongside owners as hands-on operators, not slide-deck consultants.
Who we serve
Founders wearing every hat, and out of hours to wear them.
Early-stage, founder-led ABA and behavioral health practices — typically clinicians or first-time owners running from $0 to $1MM in revenue, aiming for $3–5MM. They're stretched thin and skeptical of outside help that doesn't understand the clinical and operational realities of the work.
We help you find and fix the systems, staffing, and processes that break when a practice grows faster than its infrastructure — and build the ones that let you grow sustainably, without depending on the owner's hours. Nationwide, with most of the work happening remotely.

Built, not just recommended
We help you identify, build, and implement the systems — and the capability stays with your team when we're done.
Sector-specific
ABA and behavioral health only. We know payors, credentialing, and RBT churn.
Stage-specific
Built for the $0–$5MM climb, where the wrong hire or system stalls everything.
