Company

Built by operators, for operators.

Mako is a Forge1 Group company building conversation infrastructure for industries where follow-up speed decides the deal.

What Mako is

Mako is an AI-native conversation engine for high-velocity sales teams. It handles inbound leads, replies, follow-up, and routing across SMS, voice, and email — then writes the work back into the CRM the customer already uses. Mako is not a CRM. It is the communication layer your CRM should have had all along.

Why this exists

An operator thesis.

01
The pain

Deals get lost to bad follow-up. Internet leads die in the gap between inbound and reply. BDC working lists go stale. Stips don't come back. Service-drive opportunities sit unanswered.

02
The realization

Incumbent CRMs were built SMS-first, with AI bolted on later. AI-native communication — built from the ground up around how language models actually work — is the opening.

03
The thesis

Tools built around real operator workflows work better than tools designed around dashboards. Mako is built to fit the floor, not the boardroom.
