The Venture Building Process: How Professional Company Creators Work
Venture builders are professional company creators that systematically launch new businesses from scratch rather than simply investing in existing startups. Unlike traditional VCs, they take hands-on operational roles, provide shared resources across multiple ventures, and retain significant equity stakes (30-80%). Their structured approach follows six key phases: idea generation and validation, concept development, MVP creation, market launch, growth scaling, and maturity preparation. Throughout this process, business development and go-to-market strategies are critically integrated, especially during the middle phases when transforming innovative ideas into viable, growing businesses. This systematic approach combines startup creativity with enterprise-level methodologies to reduce the risks of company creation.
