About

The Venture Platform is designed to drive the biggest change to the way arts organizations conduct online business practices since the first brave groups registered their domain names.

“How can we catch up by going slower?”

As an arts consultant, I hear this all the time from frustrated marketing professionals and executives. Equally frustrated board members do everything they can to improve the tools their administrators use, but it is rare to see an office with enough resources to compare with peer for profit groups. Shrinking budgets and cutbacks in staff following the economic downturn haven’t made the job any easier, but the demands have never been higher.

Venture is designed to tackle those problems head-on.

Venture takes all the great things people love about social networking software, collaboration software, and community software and makes those work for the arts business.

We combined the best features of open source content management platforms and purpose built applications to deliver a sophisticated next generation technology especially for the arts business – our business. When combined with our responsible business plan that leverages open source solutions to favor sustainability over blind profit margins, Venture will have the same impact on arts organizations that Henry Ford’s Model T had on the auto industry.
