Work with VEN · For venture firms
Support your portfolio’s
leadership teams.
Connect your portfolio leaders with relevant peers, operational advisors and their own VEN Partner.
Beyond the CEO
Extend the support from your platform team.
We give your portfolio leaders access to peer and advisor experience around their current work. Your fund keeps its relationships.
Each leader decides on membership for themselves. An introduction gives your firm no access to their discussions.
Proposed starting points
Ways to work together.
Introduce interested leaders
Introduce portfolio leaders to VEN. We discuss fit with each of them directly.
Explore a topic session
Bring an operating question your portfolio keeps hitting. We agree who should be in the room and who from your network can speak to it.
Connect operating experience
Put forward an operator or specialist who wants to contribute.
We agree the scope, responsibilities and terms with you up front.
A practical first conversation
Start with your portfolio’s work.
What should we bring to the conversation?
The roles, stages and challenges where outside experience would help. No sensitive company details needed.
Does an introduction commit a leader?
No. Each leader decides individually. Eligible newcomers receive two free sessions.
What arrangements need to be agreed?
Formats, availability, referral arrangements and commercial terms. See the member recording-access rules.
Next step
What are your portfolio leaders working through?
Tell us which leaders and which decisions. We reply within 24 hours with where to start.
