We’re a small, nimble team that takes pride in doing our best work in a calm work environment. If that sounds like a team you can see yourself being a part of, read on…
The Place to Grow.
The Journey Ahead
5 Objectives. 10 Years
Between now and 2030, we’ll build ten new ventures where each is more ambitious than the last. We’ll sell two or three ventures to keep our portfolio fresh and manageable by a small team. We’ll stay 100% independent and do a lot of good along the way.
Over the next ten years, our ventures will serve a global audience of more than 1,000,000 happy customers.
To get there, we'll need to scale in unconventional ways while staying focused on building products that customers love.
Through our partnership with The Prince's Trust, we will support 100 young people from disadvantaged backgrounds by funding their Enterprise Programme education and helping them launch a business. This allows us to give back and support young people in doing what we're fortunate enough to do every day; Build ambitious businesses.
Progress: 14 / 100
We’ll never sell, take investors or go public. Our customers have always been, and will always be, our investors. This keeps us focused on creating products that customers love.
And yet, we're venture agnostic. Ventures will come and go, but Venture Harbour will always remain an independently-owned venture studio.
By 2030, Venture Harbour will be remote with 30 or fewer teammates.
When it comes to teams, we believe in quality over quantity. Being a small team forces us to work smarter and grow in unconventional ways. It pushes us to do the best work of our lives and stay profitable so that we can reinvest in increasingly ambitious challenges with each new venture.
Few companies ever reach this level. Achieving this would be a testament to our ambition and ideas, and would mark our position as a truly world-leading product studio. It would also enable us to make a transformative impact in the communities that we live, work and play in.
Achieiving this level of scale with a relatively small team won't be easy, but it'll force us to invest and innovate in our use of automation, hire the best people, and only invest in truly ambitious ideas.
We're All Owners.
Our team are some of the most curious, self-motivated people you’ll work with.
You won’t find much red tape here either, as we trust everyone to take ownership and make decisions in the best interest of the team.
Small by Design.
We believe small teams have an inherent advantage.
A small team promotes ownership, agility, autonomy and a need for working smart. That’s why we’ve commited to keeping the Venture Harbour team always below 30 people, and investing in the team’s growth.
”It's the first job where the promises I was given during interview have all been delivered. I think what Venture Harbour has is incredibly unique (and has all my developer friends jealous).
