... adds the stability and efficiency to your idea to help you make a sustainable project or company.

As an entrepreneur, you need to fulfill several tasks around your core business to achieve success and to grow. Either you fulfill these tasks in-house or you coordinate them through several service providers. Stop the insanity!

With specialists from different backgrounds in our team, we can offer your "venture" single offerings or a bundled "support" system. We fulfill the complementary tasks while you stably and efficiently concentrate on your core competency.

What do you think?

"Yes, I think stability and efficiency help. Tell me more..."

The Concept

Venture Support is easy to understand but difficult to find.

  • It is a bundle of services that are intelligently linked to each other to provide you with unified solutions to various needs.
  • This bundle helps you function in a more efficient, stable and mature manner. Just like a larger and more established company.
  • Therefore, you can continue concentrating on your core business, whether it is selling coffee as a tradesman or making communications software in a knowledge intensive industry (examples of our customers).
  • And we promise that if the whole bundle or any part of it doesn't make sense for you, we won't offer it to you.
How we'll work together...

We'll be systematic and focussed.

  • We discuss your ideas and your goal with you. We believe, just like you, there's a way to get there.
  • We chalk out your plans with you to address all your immediate and long term needs. We help you strengthen these against contingencies.
  • We implement these plans together and ensure that you function more effectively and stably.
  • On the way, we keep giving you new ideas around your business
How do young companies pay us?

Not as hard a question as one may think. There are 4 simple ways of building Rome.

  1. Direct fee - We offer you a service / combination of services through a formal proposal and you pay us for the work. In this case, we are simply service providers.
  2. Joint Venture - We launch a company together (joint ownership) and we function as "every other department" while you concentrate on your core business.
  3. Profit share - If your business is transaction based, it is easy to share a fraction of this transaction among us.
  4. Strategic partner - We offer you our services as exclusive service providers. You look for another service provider only if we can't offer the service. In return, we won't work with any direct competitor of yours.
"No, thank you! I can handle all the challenges single-handedly."

We respect your liking for independence and understand some of your skepticism too.
But please ask yourself:

How much time, effort and money would it take you to hire

  • a designer (for your product and website),
  • software developer,
  • marketing specialist,
  • business planner,
  • finance and law specialists ...

... all for your new business or project, or to coordinate their tasks as independent service providers?

And do spare some time to see some relevant references and case studies before you go.

"I am a venture capitalist. Does Venture Support help me?"

Have you ever wondered how your investee will actually manage various services around the core business without losing focus?

Of course, there are experts who guide the founders of these young companies and help them build a network of contacts. But they still need to coordinate the service of several service providers. Isn't it? That's where we come in.

We have put together a team of specialists from various fields. We work together with your investee and ensure all the support systems needed for its success run smoothly and efficiently.

The stable environment for the investee can mean stable growth of capital for you.
