Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Organization and Description of Business	Organization and Description of Business Forge Global Holdings, Inc. (the “Company” and f/k/a Motive Capital Corp) is a financial services platform headquartered in San Francisco, California. The Company offers a trusted trading platform, proprietary data and insights to inform investment strategies, along with custody services to help companies, shareholders, institutions and accredited investors confidently navigate and transact in the private market. The Company's scaled and integrated business model is at the nexus of the private market ecosystem, which it believes creates a sustaining competitive advantage fueling its clients' participation in the private market and the Company's growth. On March 21, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), the Company consummated the Business Combination (as defined below) pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated September 13, 2021 (the "Merger Agreement"), by and among Motive Capital Corp, a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company in 2020 (“MOTV”), FGI Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of MOTV (“Merger Sub”), and Forge Global, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Legacy Forge”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on the Closing Date, immediately prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, MOTV changed its jurisdiction of incorporation from the Cayman Islands to the State of Delaware and changed its corporate name to "Forge Global Holdings, Inc." (the “Domestication”). On the Closing Date, Merger Sub merged with and into Legacy Forge (the "Merger"), with Legacy Forge surviving the Merger as a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (together with the Merger, the Domestication, and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Business Combination”). The Merger was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization with Legacy Forge being the accounting acquirer and MOTV as the acquired company for accounting purposes. Accordingly, all historical financial information presented in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements represents the accounts of Legacy Forge and its wholly owned subsidiaries as if Legacy Forge is the predecessor to the Company. The shares and net loss per common share prior to the Merger have been retroactively restated as shares reflecting the exchange ratio (the "Exchange Ratio") as established by the Merger Agreement (each outstanding share of Legacy Forge Class A common stock was exchanged for approximately 3.122931 shares of the Company’s common stock, including all shares of Legacy Forge preferred stock, which were converted to shares of Legacy Forge's Class A common stock immediately prior to the Merger). See Note 3, “Recapitalization,” for additional information. Forge Europe GmbH In September 2022, the Company and Deutsche Börse Aktiengesellschaft (“DBAG,” a German company and together with the Company, the “Investors”) formed an entity, Forge Europe GmbH (“Forge Europe”), to further expand the Company’s business in the European market. Upon formation, the Investors contributed to Forge Europe an aggregate cash amount of $14.1 million (the “Cash Consideration”) and certain of the Company’s intangible assets (the “Noncash Consideration”). $4.6 million of the Cash Consideration was contributed by the Company and $9.5 million was contributed by DBAG. The Company has a majority ownership interest in Forge Europe and accounts for Forge Europe as a fully consolidated subsidiary. The remaining interest, held by DBAG (a related party of the Company), is reported as a noncontrolling interest in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Upon initial consolidation, Forge Europe did not have any assets other than the $14.1 million transferred as Cash Consideration and the intangible assets contributed as Noncash Consideration with zero carrying value. Accordingly, the Cash Consideration contributed by DBAG as the noncontrolling interest holder of DBAG was in excess of its share of Forge Europe’s net assets, and the excess was recognized in additional paid-in capital upon consolidation of Forge Europe in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of changes in stockholders' equity.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation and Consolidation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, and its subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the normal course of business, the Company has transactions with various investment entities. In certain instances, the Company provides investment advisory services to pooled investment vehicles (each, an “Investment Fund”). The Company does not have discretion to make any investment, except for the specific investment for which an Investment Fund was formed. The Company performs an assessment to determine (a) whether the Company’s investments or other interests will absorb portions of a variable interest entity’s expected losses or receive portions of the entity’s expected residual returns and (b) whether the Company’s involvement, through holding interests directly or indirectly in the entity would give it a controlling financial interest. The Company consolidates entities in which it, directly or indirectly, is determined to have a controlling financial interest. Consolidation conclusions are reviewed quarterly to identify whether any reconsideration events have occurred. There have been no changes to the Company's significant accounting policies described in the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, that have had a material impact on these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes. See Note 9, "Off Balance Sheet Items", for additional information. Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Information The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2023 and for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 and accompanying notes are unaudited. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements (the " unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements ") have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applicable to interim financial statements. These financial statements are presented in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC and do not include all disclosures normally required in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. As such, the information included herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the “audited consolidated financial statements”) that was included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 1, 2023, which provides a more complete discussion of the Company’s accounting policies and certain other information. In management’s opinion, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2023 and its condensed consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the year ending December 31, 2023 or any other future interim or annual periods. Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affe ct the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Such management estimates include, but are not limited to, collectability of accounts receivable, the fair value of financial assets and liabilities, the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations, the fair value of consideration paid for business combinations, the useful lives of acquired intangible assets and property and equipment, the impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill, the fair value of warrants, equity awards and share-based compensation expenses, including the determination of the fair value of the Company’s common stock prior to the Business Combination and the derived service period for the awards containing market-based vesting conditions, and the valuation of deferred tax assets. These estimates are inherently subjective in nature and, therefore, actual results may differ from the Company’s estimates and assumptions. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and also on assumptions that it believes are reasonable. Further, the Company applies judgment in determining whether, directly or indirectly, it has a controlling financial interest in the Investment Funds, in order to conclude whether any of the Investment Funds must be consolidated. The Company believes the estimates and assumptions underlying the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are reasonable and supportable based on the information available as of March 31, 2023. These estimates may change as new events occur and additional information is obtained, and related financial impacts will be recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as soon as those events become known. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company’s long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. The Company also evaluates the period of depreciation and amortization of long-lived assets to determine whether events or circumstances warrant revised estimates of useful lives. When indicators of impairment are present, the Company determines the recoverability of its long-lived assets by comparing the carrying value of its long-lived assets to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. If the estimated future undiscounted cash flows demonstrate the long-lived assets are not recoverable, an impairment loss would be calculated based on the excess of the carrying amounts of the long-lived assets over their fair value. The Company determined that recent developments in domestic and global economies, including significant market volatilities, interest rate increases, and the decline in the market value of the Company's stock, which commenced prior to March 31, 2023, represent indicators that the Company's long-lived assets may be impaired. Accordingly, the Company carried out an impairment test of its long-lived assets pursuant to ASC 360 - Property, Plant, and Equipment, whereby a quantitative assessment was performed to determine whether its long-lived assets were recoverable. The Company's long-lived assets represent a single group of assets that individually are not independent from the cash flows of other assets. The Company determined that the carrying amount of its long-lived assets did not exceed the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of these assets, thus, its long-lived assets were recoverable as of March 31, 2023. As a result, no impairment loss was recorded for the long-lived assets. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, Net Goodwill represents the excess of the aggregate fair value of the consideration transferred in a business combination over the fair value of the assets acquired, net of liabilities assumed. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment annually on October 1, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate the goodwill may be impaired. The Company's 2022 annual goodwill impairment test resulted in no goodwill impairment. Additionally as of March 31, 2023, the Company performed a goodwill impairment test as a result of the events and circumstances previously discussed. The Company has one reporting unit. In determining the fair value of the reporting unit in accordance with ASC 350 - Intangibles - Goodwill and Other, the Company performed a quantitative assessment of goodwill as of March 31, 2023 using the income approach in combination with sensitivity analysis and reconciliations to market capitalization. The fair value of the reporting unit exceeded its carrying value. As a result, no impairment loss was recorded for goodwill. In-process research and development (“IPR&D”) assets acquired in a business combination are considered indefinite lived until the completion or abandonment of the associated research and development efforts. Upon conclusion of the relevant research and development project, the Company will amortize the acquired IPR&D over its estimated useful life or expense the acquired IPR&D should the research and development project be unsuccessful with no future alternative use. Acquired intangible assets also consist of identifiable intangible assets, primarily software technology, trade name and customer relationships, resulting from business acquisitions. Finite-lived intangible assets are recorded at fair value on the date of acquisition and are amortized over their estimated useful lives. The Company bases the useful lives and related amortization expense on its estimate of the period that the assets will generate revenues or otherwise be used. Accounts Receivable, Net Accounts receivable consist of amounts billed and currently due from customers, which are subject to collection risk. The total allowance for doubtful accounts netted against account receivables was $1.0 million and $0.9 million as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Concentration of Credit Risks The Company’s exposure to credit risk associated with its contracts with holders of private company equity (“sellers”) and investors (“buyers”) related to the transfer of private securities is measured on an individual counterparty basis. Concentrations of credit risk can be affected by changes in political, industry, or economic factors. To reduce the potential for risk concentration, the Company’s exposure is monitored in light of changing counterparty and market conditions. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company did not have any material concentrations of credit risk outside the ordinary course of business. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, no customers accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s accounts receivable. No customer accounted for more than 10% of total revenue, less transaction-based expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. Revenue Recognition Contract Balances Contract assets represent amounts for which the Company has recognized revenue for contracts that have not yet been invoiced to our customers. The Company does not have any contract assets as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Reverse Recapitalization [Abstract]
Recapitalization	Recapitalization As discussed in Note 1, "Organization and Description of Business," on the Closing Date, Legacy Forge completed the acquisition of MOTV a nd acquired 100% of MOTV’s shares and Legacy Forge received gross proceeds of $216.4 million, which includes $7.9 million in proceeds from MOTV's trust and bank accounts, net of redemptions, $68.5 million in proceeds from the PIPE Investment (as defined below), and $140.0 million in proce eds from the A&R FPA (as defined below). The Company recorded $61.8 million of transaction costs, which consisted of legal, accounting, and other professional services directly related to the Merger, of which $58.7 million was related to common stock issued during the Merger and was recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital. The remaining $3.1 million was related to issuance of Public and Private Placement Warrants, including warrants issued to A&R FPA investors, and was expensed immediately upon consummation of the Merger as acquisition-related transaction cost in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations . The cash outflows related to these costs were presented as financing activities in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows . Deferred offering costs were offset against proceeds upon accounting for the consummation of the Merger. In addition, upon closing of the Merger, certain executives received a one-time transaction bonus for an aggregate amount of $17.7 million, of which $12.2 million was to be paid to the executives in cash, and the remaining amount $5.5 million was offset against outstanding promissory notes that were due from these executives as of the Closing Date. The transaction bonus was included in compensation and benefits in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months March 31, 2022. See Note 10, "Capitalization", for additional information. On the Closing Date, each holder of MOTV Class A ordinary stock received one share of the Company’s common stock, par value 0.0001, for each MOTV Class A ordinary share held prior to the Merger, and each holder of MOTV Class B ordinary stock received one share of the Company’s common stock, par value 0.0001, for each MOTV Class B ordinary share held prior to the Merger. See Note 10, "Capitalization" and Note 11, "Warrants" for additional details of the Company’s stockholders’ equity prior to and subsequent to the Merger. All equity awards of Legacy Forge were assumed by the Company and converted into comparable equity awards that are settled or exercisable for shares of the Company’s common stock. As a result, each outstanding stock option of Legacy Forge was converted into an option to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock based on the Exchange Ratio and each outstanding warrant of Legacy Forge was converted into a warrant to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock based on the Exchange Ratio. The Merger was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization with Legacy Forge as the accounting acquirer and MOTV as the acquired company for accounting purposes. Legacy Forge was determined to be the accounting acquirer since Legacy Forge's former management makes up the majority of the Company's management team, Legacy Forge’s former management nominated or represents a majority of the Company’s board of directors, and Legacy Forge represents the majority of the continuing operations of the Company. Accordingly, all historical financial information presented in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements represents the accounts of Legacy Forge and its wholly owned subsidiary. Net assets were stated at historical cost consistent with the treatment of the transaction as a reverse recapitalization of Legacy Forge. Each public and private warrant of MOTV that was unexercised at the time of the Merger was assumed by the Company and represents the right to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock upon exercise of such warrant. PIPE Investment On March 21, 2022, concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, MOTV entered into subscription agreements with certain investors, to which such investors collectively subscribed for an aggregate of 6,850,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $10.00 per share for aggregate gross proceeds of $68.5 million (the “PIPE Investment”). The PIPE Investment was consummated concurrently with the closing of the Merger. Amended and Restated Forward Purchase Agreement

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements Financial instruments consist of cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, payment-dependent notes receivable, payment-dependent notes payable, and warrant liabilities. Cash equivalents, payment-dependent notes receivable, payment-dependent notes payable, and warrant liabilities are stated at fair value on a recurring basis. Restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities are stated at their carrying value, which approximates fair value due to the short time these financial instruments are held to the expected receipt or payment date. The following tables present the fair value hierarchy for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands): As of March 31, 2023 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Cash and cash equivalents: Money market funds $ 117,280 $ — $ — $ 117,280 Payment-dependent notes receivable, current (1) 2 — — 2 Payment-dependent notes receivable, non-current — — 5,830 5,830 Total financial assets $ 117,282 $ — $ 5,830 $ 123,112 Payment-dependent notes payable, current (2) $ 2 $ — $ — $ 2 Payment-dependent notes payable, non-current — — 5,830 5,830 Legacy Forge warrant liabilities — — 247 247 Private placement warrants — — 190 190 Total financial liabilities $ 2 $ — $ 6,267 $ 6,269 As of December 31, 2022 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Cash and cash equivalents: Money market funds $ 149,139 $ — $ — $ 149,139 Payment-dependent notes receivable, current (1) 5 — — 5 Payment-dependent notes receivable, non-current — — 7,371 7,371 Total financial assets $ 149,144 $ — $ 7,371 $ 156,515 Payment-dependent notes payable, current (2) $ 5 $ — $ — $ 5 Payment-dependent notes payable, non-current — — 7,371 7,371 Legacy Forge warrant liabilities — — 384 384 Private placement warrants — — 222 222 Total financial liabilities $ 5 $ — $ 7,977 $ 7,982 (1) Included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. (2) Included in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The Company classifies money market funds and certain payment-dependent notes receivable and payment-dependent notes payable within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because the Company values these investments using quoted market prices. Payment-Dependent Notes Receivable and Payment-Dependent Notes Payable Classified as Level 3 The Company classifies certain payment-dependent notes receivable and payment-dependent notes payable within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy if the underlying securities are equity of private companies whose regular financial and nonfinancial information is generally not available other than when it is publicly disclosed, or significant unobservable inputs are used to estimate fair value. The Company estimates fair values of payment-dependent notes receivable and payment-dependent notes payable utilizing completed transactions made through the Company’s platform for the relevant private securities as well as mutual fund valuations of private companies as relevant data inputs. Legacy Forge Warrant Liabilities The Company's Legacy Forge warrant liabilities consisted of warrants to purchase Series B-1 preferred stock or subsequent round stock (the "Series B-1 Preferred Stock Warrants") and Junior Preferred Stock Warrants (as defined below). The Company used a hybrid method that incorporates the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and an adjusted backsolve model to estimate the fair value of the Legacy Forge warrant liabilities through June 30, 2022. Subsequent to June 30, 2022, the Company used a binomial lattice model in a risk-neutral framework to value Legacy Forge warrant liabilities. See Note 11, "Warrants", for additional information. Subsequent to the Merger, the Series B-1 Preferred Stock Warrants and Junior Preferred Stock Warrants were converted to common stock warrants. As a result, the Series B-1 Preferred Stock Warrants were remeasured at fair value prior to the conversion resulting in a change in fair value of $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, which was recognized as a component of change in fair value of warrant liabilities within the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations , and subsequently settled in additional paid-in capital as a result of the conversion to equity-classified common stock warrants. The Junior Preferred Stock Warrants were remeasured at fair value prior to the conversion to common stock warrants, which did not result in a change in fair value as of the conversion date. These warrants remained liability-classified after the conversion into the common stock warrants as the Company's obligation with respect to these warrants is capped at a fixed monetary amount and may be settled in a variable number of common shares. The Legacy Forge warrant liabilities were remeasured at fair value as of March 31, 2023 which resulted in a $0.1 million gain for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The Company estimated the fair value of the Legacy Forge warrant liabilities, as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, using the following key assumptions: March 31, December 31, Fair value of underlying securities $ 1.75 $ 1.73 Expected term (years) 2.6 2.9 Expected volatility 40.4% 46.1% Risk-free interest rate 3.9% 4.2% Expected dividend yield 0.0% 0.0% Fair value per warrant $ 0.09 $ 0.15 Private Placement Warrants The Company classifies the Private Placement Warrants within Level 3, because significant unobservable inputs are used to estimate fair value. To estimate the fair value of Private Placement Warrants, the Company used a binomial lattice model in a risk-neutral framework. The significant assumptions used in the analysis were the trading price of the Company’s Common Stock as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, using the following key assumptions: March 31, December 31, Fair value of underlying securities $ 1.75 $ 1.73 Expected term (years) 4.0 4.2 Expected volatility 44.2% 44.6% Risk-free interest rate 3.7% 4.1% Expected dividend yield 0.0% 0.0% Fair value per warrant $ 0.03 $ 0.03 Transfers Into and Out of Level 3 The Company transfers financial instruments out of Level 3 on the date when underlying input parameters are readily observable from existing market quotes. For Payment-dependent notes payable and receivable, transfers from Level 3 to Level 1 generally relate to a company going public and listing on a national securities exchange. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, and 2022 there were no transfers of securities into or out of Level 3. The following tables provide reconciliation for all financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 (in thousands): Total Level 3 Financial Assets Total Level 3 Financial Liabilities Balance as of December 31, 2022 $ 7,371 $ 7,977 Change in fair value of payment-dependent notes receivable (1,541) — Change in fair value of payment-dependent notes payable — (1,541) Change in fair value of Junior Preferred Stock Warrants — (137) Change in fair value of Private Placement Warrants — (32) Balance as of March 31, 2023 $ 5,830 $ 6,267 Total Level 3 Financial Assets Total Level 3 Financial Liabilities Balance as of December 31, 2021 $ 13,453 $ 21,297 Change in fair value of payment-dependent notes receivable 1,522 — Change in fair value of payment-dependent notes payable — 1,522 Change in fair value of Series B-1 Preferred Stock warrant liability — 106 Settlement of Series B-1 Preferred Stock Warrant Liability via conversion to equity-classified common stock warrants — (2,950) Balance as of March 31, 2022 $ 14,975 $ 19,975

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]
Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net	Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net The Company determined that recent developments in domestic and global economies, including significant market volatilities, interest rate increases, and the decline in the market value of the Company's stock, which commenced prior to March 31, 2023 , represent indicators that its long-lived assets may be impaired. Accordingly, the Company carried out an interim impairment test of its long-lived assets pursuant to ASC 360 - Property, Plant, and Equipment, whereby a quantitative assessment was performed to determine whether its long-lived assets were recoverable. The Company's long-lived assets represent a single group of assets that individually are not independent from the cash flows of other assets. The Company determined that the carrying amount of its long-lived assets did not exceed the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of these assets, thus, its long-lived assets were recoverable as of March 31, 2023 . As a result, no impairment loss was recorded for the long-lived assets. Additionally, as of March 31, 2023 , the Company performed an interim goodwill impairment test as a result of the events and circumstances previously discussed. The Company has one reporting unit. In determining the fair value of the reporting unit in accordance with ASC 350 - Intangibles - Goodwill and Other, the Company performed a quantitative assessment of goodwill as of March 31, 2023 using the income approach in combination with sensitivity analysis and reconciliations to market capitalization. The fair value of the reporting unit exceeded its carrying value. As a result, no impairment loss was recorded for goodwill.

The Company is also the subject of inquiries, investigations, and proceedings by regulatory and other governmental agencies. The Company reviews its lawsuits, regulatory inquiries and other legal proceedings on an ongoing basis and provides disclosures and records loss contingencies in accordance with the loss contingencies accounting guidance. The Company establishes an accrual for losses at management’s best estimate when the Company assesses that it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. If no amount within the range is considered a better estimate than any other amount, an accrual for losses is recorded based on the bottom amount of the range. Accrual for loss contingencies are recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets and expensed in general and administrative expenses in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations . The Company monitors these matters for developments that would affect the likelihood of a loss and the accrued amount, if any, and adjusts the amount as appropriate.

Warrants [Abstract]
Warrants	Warrants Warrants to Purchase Series B-1 Convertible Preferred Stock or Subsequent Round Stock In May 2020, Legacy Forge entered into a Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement with investors pursuant to which it issued certain convertible notes (the “2020 Convertible Notes”). In connection with the issuance of the 2020 Convertible Notes, the note holders entered into a Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement for the options to purchase shares based on coverage of 5% of the 2020 Convertible Notes principal amounts (the “May 2020 Warrants”). The note holders could purchase either (i) the Series B-1 convertible preferred stock of Legacy Forge at Series B-1 price of $3.9760 or (ii) any subsequent round stock of Legacy Forge at the subsequent round price. The warrants have a five-year contractual life and may be exercised at any time during that period. In October 2020, Legacy Forge entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “2020 Loan and Security Agreement”) with another lending institution that provided for a term loan in the amount of $15.0 million. In October 2020, simultaneously with the 2020 Loan and Security Agreement, the lender entered into a Warrant to Purchase Shares of Preferred Stock Agreement with Legacy Forge for the options to purchase a coverage amount of $3.5 million in shares (the “October 2020 Warrants”). The investors were granted the right to purchase either the Series B-1 convertible preferred stock of Legacy Forge at Series B-1 price of $3.9760 or (ii) any subsequent round stock of Legacy Forge at the subsequent round price. The warrants have a ten-year contractual life and may be exercised at any time during that period. Prior to the Merger, the May 2020 Warrants and October 2020 Warrants were classified as Warrant liabilities in Legacy Forge's consolidated balance sheets. Legacy Forge remeasured the May 2020 Warrants and October 2020 Warrants at each balance sheet date to their fair value (See Note 4, "Fair Value Measurements", for additional information). Subsequent to the Merger, the May 2020 Warrants and October 2020 Warrants were converted to Legacy Forge's common stock warrants. As a result, the May 2020 Warrants and October 2020 Warrants were adjusted to fair value prior to the conversion, and then settled in additional paid-in capital as a result of the conversion to equity-classified common stock warrants. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 the Company recorded fair value adjustments of $0.1 million for the May 2020 Warrants and October 2020 Warrants, respectively, in change in fair value of warrant liabilities in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations . Warrants to Purchase Junior Preferred Stock In November 2020, in connection with the SharesPost acquisition, Legacy Forge issued a total of 3,122,931 warrants (“Junior Preferred Stock Warrants”) to purchase shares of Legacy Forge's Junior Preferred Stock at an exercise price of $3.9760 per share, with a cap of extended value of $5.0 million. The Junior Preferred Stock Warrants have a five-year contractual life and may be exercised at any time during that period. Prior to the Merger, the warrants were classified as a liability in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets . The Company remeasures the warrants at each balance sheet date using a hybrid method (See Note 4, "Fair Value Measurements", for additional information). Subsequent to the Merger, the Junior Preferred Stock Warrants were converted into the Company's common stock warrants. As a result, the Junior Preferred Stock Warrants were adjusted to fair value prior to conversion and remain classified as a liability, as the Company's obligation with respect to these warrants is capped at a fixed monetary amount of $5.0 million and may be settled in a variable number of common shares. The Company recorded changes in the fair value of the Junior Preferred Stock Warrants, that were converted to warrants to purchase common stock, of $0.1 million as change in fair value of warrant liabilities in the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations during the three months ended March 31, 2023. There was no change in fair value of warrant liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants As the accounting acquirer, Legacy Forge is deemed to have assumed 7,386,667 warrants for Class A common stock that were held by Motive Capital Funds Sponsor, LLC (the “Sponsor”) at an exercise price of $11.50 ("Private Placement Warrants"), 13,799,940 Class A common stock warrants held by MOTV's shareholders at an exercise price of $11.50 ("Public Warrants"), and 4,666,664 Public Warrants at an exercise price of $11.50 that were issued in connection with the A&R FPA that was consummated upon the Closing Date. The warrants are exercisable subject to the terms of the warrant agreement, including but not limited to, the Company having an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), covering the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available. The warrants expire five years after the completion of the Business Combination, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. All of the Private Placement Warrants are still outstanding as of March 31, 2023. Subsequent to the Merger, the Private Placement Warrants and Public Warrants met liability classification requirements since the warrants may be required to be settled in cash under a tender offer. In addition, Private Placement Warrants are potentially subject to a different settlement amount as a result of being held by the Sponsor which precludes the Private Placement Warrants from being considered indexed to the entity's own stock. Therefore, these warrants are classified as liabilities on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets . On June 9, 2022, the Company issued a redemption notice to warrant holders announcing that it would redeem all of its Public Warrants (including the 4,666,664 Public Warrants that were issued in connection with the A&R FPA) on July 11, 2022 at 5:00 p.m. New York City Time (the "Redemption Date") for $0.01 per Public Warrant (the "Redemption"). After such notice and prior to the Redemption Date, warrant holders were entitled to exercise the Public Warrants at an exercise price of $11.50 per share of the Company's common stock. Any Public Warrants not exercised by the Redemption Date were automatically redeemed by the Company at a price of $0.01 per Public Warrant. In connection with the Redemption, 1,994,790 Public Warrants were exercised at an exercise price of $11.50 per share of common stock, for an aggregate of 1,994,790 shares. Total cash proceeds generated from such exercises were $22.9 million. The change in the fair value of warrant liabilities was recorded through the date of exercise as a change in fair value of warrant liabilities within the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations . Additionally, the fair value of the warrant liability as of the exercise date of $0.7 million was reclassified to additional paid-in capital within the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets . On July 11, 2022, the remaining 16,471,814 Public Warrants still outstanding were redeemed at a price of $0.01 per Public Warrant for an aggregate cash payment from the Company of $0.2 million. On July 11, 2022, the Public Warrants were delisted from the NYSE.

In addition, for the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company recognized share-based compensation expense of $0.6 million related to pre-close issuance of common stock for services. Unrecognized share-based compensation expense for unvested stock options granted and outstanding as of March 31, 2023, is $9.4 million, which is to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.9 years. Performance and Market Condition Options In May 2021, Legacy Forge’s board of directors granted the Chief Executive Officer a performance and market condition-based option covering 3,122,931 shares of Legacy Forge's Class AA common stock with an exercise price of $3.9760 per share. The options are divided into three tranches of 1,040,979 options, 1,040,979 options, and 1,040,979 options, corresponding to the three Aggregate Exit Proceeds Thresholds (as defined below). The awards vest only upon the satisfaction of (1) certain performance conditions, which is the occurrence of an IPO, merger with a SPAC, or a secondary sale for total proceeds of at least $250.0 million and (2) market condition, which is holders of Legacy Forge's B-1 convertible preferred stock having realized (i) aggregate exit proceeds with fair market value of at least $9.94, $14.91, and $19.88 per share (the “Share Price Thresholds”); and (ii) an aggregate interest rate compounded annually which, when used as the discount rate to calculate the net present value, with respect to the occurrence of an IPO, merger with a SPAC or acquisition, that is equal to or greater than 20.0%, 30.0% and 35.0% (the “IRR Thresholds,” and together with the Share Price Thresholds, the “Aggregate Exit Proceeds Thresholds”). In the event of an IPO or a merger with a SPAC, the Aggregate Exit Proceeds Thresholds are measured on the basis of the closing price average for any trailing 20 trading day period (the “Measurement Period”) that occurs following such IPO or a merger with a SPAC, with the Measurement Period commencing upon expiration of the 180-day lock-up period following such IPO or merger with a SPAC, until the options expire or the Chief Executive Officer ceases to provide services to the Company.

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, the performance condition was met and the Company recorded cumulative catch-up compensation expense of $4.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Total compensation expense recognized for the performance and market condition-based option during the three months ended March 31, 2023 w as $0.3 million . The Company used the Monte Carlo simulation model to determine the fair value of the options with performance and market-based vesting conditions for purposes of calculating share-based compensation expense if vesting conditions are met. The Monte Carlo simulation model incorporates the probability of satisfying performance and market conditions and uses transaction details such as stock price, contractual terms, maturity and risk-free interest rates, as well as volatility. The fair value of the performance-based stock options w as $2.27 per option share estimated using the Monte Carlo simulation methodology. The unrecognized compensation expense was $0.5 million as of March 31, 2023. Early Exercised Options Under the 2018 Plan, certain stock option holders may have the right to exercise unvested options, subject to a repurchase right held by the Company at the original exercise price, in the event of voluntary or involuntary termination of employment of the option holders, until the options are fully vested. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the cash proceeds received for unvested shares of common stock recorded within accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets wer e $0.5 million a nd $0.6 million, respectively, which will be transferred to additional paid-in capital upon vesting.

Subject to the option agreement, the options shall vest in full and become exercisable immediately prior to the consummation of a deemed liquidation event or SPAC transaction. The performance-based vesting condition for the options granted to certain board members was satisfied as of March 31, 2022 and the Company recorded $1.2 million of share-based compensation expense related to the options granted to certain board members. RSUs The Company’s RSUs are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock upon vesting on a one-to-one basis, and generally contain time-based vesting conditions only. RSUs granted to certain executives (the “Executive Retention RSUs”) also contain market-based vesting conditions. The RSUs that contain time-based vesting conditions vest over the service period of three RSU activity during the three months ended March 31, 2023 was as follows: RSUs Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Share Unvested as of December 31, 2022 10,578,313 $ 10.04 Vested (1) (1,233,277) $ 19.90 Forfeited (559,416) $ 12.97 Unvested as of March 31, 2023 8,785,620 $ 8.47 (1) Common stock has not been issued in connection w ith 74,472 vested RSUs because such RSUs were unsettled as of March 31, 2023.

The Executive Retention RSUs vest in three equal tranches on the earlier of: (1) first, second and third anniversaries of the consummation of the Merger, respectively, (the “Time Vesting Component”) or (2) achievement of following market-based conditions: (a) in the event the Company’s stock price meets or exceeds the price of $12.50 per share during the RSU Measurement Period (defined below), the first tranche will vest immediately, and the Time Vesting Component of the second and third tranches will be accelerated by six months; (b) in the event the Company’s stock price meets or exceeds the price of $15.00 per share during the RSU Measurement Period (defined below), the second tranche will vest immediately, and the Time Vesting Component of the third tranche will be accelerated by an additional six months. The RSU Measurement Period is equal to 20 trading days within any 30 trading day period commencing upon the expiration of a six-month lock-up period following the Merger. The fair value per share for the Executive Retention RSUs was determined by reference to the market price of the Company’s shares at the date of the grant, which was $20.26 per share. The Company used the Monte Carlo simulation model to determine the derived service period for the Executive Retention RSUs for the purposes of calculating the respective share-based compensation expense. The significant inputs used in the valuation included the Company's closing stock price as of the grant date of $20.26, cost of equity of 9.0%, dividend yield of 0.0%, volatility of 35.7%, and risk-free rate of 2.8%.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Net Loss Per Share	Net Loss per Share The Company has one class of common stock. The diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is calculated by giving effect to all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents during the period using the two-class method. The Company’s stock options, warrants, and early exercised stock options are considered to be potential common stock equivalents but have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders because the holders of these securities do not have a contractual right to share in the Company's losses, and their effect would be antidilutive. Therefore, the net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 was attributed to common stockholders only. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders for the periods presented (in thousands, except for share and per share data): Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 2022 Numerator: Net loss attributable to Forge Global Holdings, Inc., basic $ (21,188) $ (64,424) Net loss attributable to common stockholders, diluted $ (21,188) $ (64,424) Denominator: Weighted-average number of shares used to compute net loss per share attributable to common stockholders, basic 171,816,522 66,007,461 Weighted-average number of shares used to compute net loss per share attributable to common stockholders, diluted 171,816,522 66,007,461 Net loss per share attributed to common stockholders: Basic $ (0.12) $ (0.98) Diluted $ (0.12) $ (0.98) The following potentially dilutive shares were excluded in the calculation of diluted shares outstanding as the effect would have been anti-dilutive: March 31, December 31, Outstanding options 12,519,275 12,853,072 Common stock and preferred stock warrants 3,282,652 3,282,652 Private Placement Warrants issued upon Merger 7,386,667 7,386,667 Common stock subject to repurchase 884,677 1,064,323 Restricted stock units 8,785,620 10,884,476 Total 32,858,891 35,471,190

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation and Consolidation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, and its subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Consolidation	In the normal course of business, the Company has transactions with various investment entities. In certain instances, the Company provides investment advisory services to pooled investment vehicles (each, an “Investment Fund”). The Company does not have discretion to make any investment, except for the specific investment for which an Investment Fund was formed. The Company performs an assessment to determine (a) whether the Company’s investments or other interests will absorb portions of a variable interest entity’s expected losses or receive portions of the entity’s expected residual returns and (b) whether the Company’s involvement, through holding interests directly or indirectly in the entity would give it a controlling financial interest. The Company consolidates entities in which it, directly or indirectly, is determined to have a controlling financial interest. Consolidation conclusions are reviewed quarterly to identify whether any reconsideration events have occurred. There have been no changes to the Company's significant accounting policies described in the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, that have had a material impact on these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes. See Note 9, "Off Balance Sheet Items", for additional information.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affe ct the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Such management estimates include, but are not limited to, collectability of accounts receivable, the fair value of financial assets and liabilities, the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations, the fair value of consideration paid for business combinations, the useful lives of acquired intangible assets and property and equipment, the impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill, the fair value of warrants, equity awards and share-based compensation expenses, including the determination of the fair value of the Company’s common stock prior to the Business Combination and the derived service period for the awards containing market-based vesting conditions, and the valuation of deferred tax assets. These estimates are inherently subjective in nature and, therefore, actual results may differ from the Company’s estimates and assumptions. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and also on assumptions that it believes are reasonable. Further, the Company applies judgment in determining whether, directly or indirectly, it has a controlling financial interest in the Investment Funds, in order to conclude whether any of the Investment Funds must be consolidated. The Company believes the estimates and assumptions underlying the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are reasonable and supportable based on the information available as of March 31, 2023. These estimates may change as new events occur and additional information is obtained, and related financial impacts will be recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as soon as those events become known.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets	Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company’s long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. The Company also evaluates the period of depreciation and amortization of long-lived assets to determine whether events or circumstances warrant revised estimates of useful lives. When indicators of impairment are present, the Company determines the recoverability of its long-lived assets by comparing the carrying value of its long-lived assets to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. If the estimated future undiscounted cash flows demonstrate the long-lived assets are not recoverable, an impairment loss would be calculated based on the excess of the carrying amounts of the long-lived assets over their fair value.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, Net	Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, Net Goodwill represents the excess of the aggregate fair value of the consideration transferred in a business combination over the fair value of the assets acquired, net of liabilities assumed. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment annually on October 1, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate the goodwill may be impaired. The Company's 2022 annual goodwill impairment test resulted in no goodwill impairment. Additionally as of March 31, 2023, the Company performed a goodwill impairment test as a result of the events and circumstances previously discussed. The Company has one reporting unit. In determining the fair value of the reporting unit in accordance with ASC 350 - Intangibles - Goodwill and Other, the Company performed a quantitative assessment of goodwill as of March 31, 2023 using the income approach in combination with sensitivity analysis and reconciliations to market capitalization. The fair value of the reporting unit exceeded its carrying value. As a result, no impairment loss was recorded for goodwill. In-process research and development (“IPR&D”) assets acquired in a business combination are considered indefinite lived until the completion or abandonment of the associated research and development efforts. Upon conclusion of the relevant research and development project, the Company will amortize the acquired IPR&D over its estimated useful life or expense the acquired IPR&D should the research and development project be unsuccessful with no future alternative use. Acquired intangible assets also consist of identifiable intangible assets, primarily software technology, trade name and customer relationships, resulting from business acquisitions. Finite-lived intangible assets are recorded at fair value on the date of acquisition and are amortized over their estimated useful lives. The Company bases the useful lives and related amortization expense on its estimate of the period that the assets will generate revenues or otherwise be used.
Accounts Receivable, Net	Accounts Receivable, NetAccounts receivable consist of amounts billed and currently due from customers, which are subject to collection risk.
Concentration of Credit Risks	Concentration of Credit Risks The Company’s exposure to credit risk associated with its contracts with holders of private company equity (“sellers”) and investors (“buyers”) related to the transfer of private securities is measured on an individual counterparty basis. Concentrations of credit risk can be affected by changes in political, industry, or economic factors. To reduce the potential for risk concentration, the Company’s exposure is monitored in light of changing counterparty and market
