Venture Harbour

Marcus Taylor

Founder, Venture Harbour

Marcus is an Oxford-based serial entrepreneur

Marcus founded Venture Harbour in 2012, while only 21 years old, as a sandbox for building online ventures.

He's built a new company every year for 14 years following one rule – each must be more ambitious than the last. While six failed, two companies have been acquired, three still operate and three are in incubation.

Marcus has been featured in the Forbes 30 Under 30, and in 2022 he became the youngest Patron and Enterprise Fellow of the King's Trust in its 50-year history.

Marcus is currently building ventures in agentic AI and shares what he's learning here. You can contact Marcus here.
