From its inception, Venture has been designed as an off the shelf solution to promote everything an arts organization needs to design, launch, and manage their website, events management, email marketing, and metrics at a level equal to and even exceeding the results from traditional bespoke solutions that cost tens of thousands of dollars on up.
A responsible, sustainable business model is at the heart of our organization.A responsible, sustainable business model is at the heart of our organization. Venture combines the best features of open source content management platforms and purpose built applications to deliver a sophisticated next generation technology. All of this conspires to give Venture the capacity to have the same impact on arts organizations that Henry Ford’s Model T had on the auto industry.
To that end, Venture’s sustainability only improves as additional users are added. Our business plan is designed around an economy of scale model that rejects the old out of sight, out of mind working relationship approach between developers and clients. Since Venture functions as a cloud based platform, it doesn’t matter if we have 1 or 100 users, ongoing maintenance and support demands increase at a fraction of the rate as capacity. And since the profit margins remain consistent, that means we’re able to redirect additional profit into keeping costs as null as possible while continuously improving and upgrading features and functionality.
All of this means that Venture users get to have their cake and eat it too (without paying an arm and leg for it). And that’s the way it should be; there’s no reason you should accept anything less.
We reject predatory practices that gouge users in favor of a business model that embraces sustainability over blind profit margins.
