Venture Harbour has been building automation companies for 14 years. Since 2012 we’ve built and operated 14 software companies including Serene, Leadformly, TrueNorth, BrokerNotes, MAI and others — and written about what we learned along the way.
Venture Harbour was founded by Marcus Taylor.
What we do
We build an automation software company every year. Most ventures are created as a solution to the biggest problems facing our existing portfolio, minimising R&D risk and ensuring we’re always building our portfolio’s overall strength.
We don’t take outside capital – the studio is privately funded and has remained bootstrapped since day one.
Our writing
We aim to use a shared tool stack across our portfolio of ventures. As such, we take great care in conducting due dilligence to find the best tools to use.
Since 2014, we’ve shared our research and testing on this website.
The full process — who writes, who reviews, how we source, how we disclose affiliate relationships, and how we handle corrections — is documented in our editorial policy and how we test software.
Independence and funding
Some links on Venture Harbour are affiliate links: if you click through and buy, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. That commission doesn’t shape what we cover or how we rate it. Our rankings are written before the affiliate relationship, never after. For the full policy, see editorial policy and commission and fees.
