Formus

Today, Melissa sat down with to talk about the journey of building Formus and her experience in the inaugural cohort.

Formus is focused on bringing greater clarity and alignment to the design-build process, and programs like gBETA have played an important role in accelerating that mission.

Grateful for the support of the startup community that continues to champion founders.🫶

🏠Formus Beta is live!
After three weeks of non‑customer beta testing, our Beta is officially ready for real users, and we just shipped it to our first customer council! 🙌

This platform is a powerhouse even in beta. It’s the result of three years of research and hands‑on testing across multiple renovation projects last year. We’re excited to finally get it into the market to show how it elevates design‑build margins, keeps homeowners informed so they can make confident decisions, and aligns every stakeholder from day one.

🙏A huge thank you to our early beta testers. More than 20% of our pre‑beta outreach joined the program, and almost all of them took the time to complete a detailed 10‑minute questionnaire. That level of engagement says a lot. It’s a clear signal that this is a platform the industry has been waiting for.

If you or someone you know wants to join the beta waitlist, comment “beta” below or click link in bio to sign up.

Melissa is back at as a Startup Mentor. She built Formus around the values of honesty, transparency, and confidence, taking it from an idea to revenue and a beta that is already supporting live renovation projects.

She is passionate about sharing that journey with other founders and about continuing to build a platform that helps design‑build professionals run their businesses in a way that reflects those same values.
