About Venture & Prosper

About Us

Your founder-friendly venture partner, changing the status quo in technology & SaaS. Venture & Prosper is a strategy and execution partner for founders, investors, and collaborators who want to build ventures that last.

We exist because venture building is broken. We’ve seen it up close: the rushed rounds, the recycled frameworks, the performative “support” that fails to deliver when the stakes are high and the humans are tired.

So we’re doing it differently. We help ambitious teams sharpen their product, clarify their positioning, and unlock go-to-market momentum—with empathy, operational depth, and a healthy disrespect for VC theatre. Whether you're navigating early traction or scaling globally, we bring strategic clarity and human context to every conversation.

We’ve sat in your seat.

Built decks at 2am. Raised rounds. Missed targets. Rebuilt teams. Made payroll by a whisker. That’s why our advice isn’t theoretical. It’s practical, pressure-tested, and always grounded in the messy, brilliant, deeply human work of building something that matters.

  • Where others offer theory, we offer traction.
  • Where others sell playbooks, we co-create outcomes.
  • Where others stay surface-level, we cut to the strategic core—fast.
We operate at the intersection of clarity and conviction. From SaaS to smart infrastructure, AI to clean tech, our team brings boardroom experience and battlefield empathy. Because growth isn’t just about scale. It’s about alignment, timing, and being impossible to ignore—for all the right reasons.

what we do

We help ambitious teams move through the messy middle — that space between early traction and real, repeatable growth where clarity is rare and the pressure is real.

Whether you're launching, scaling, raising, or repositioning, we help you align the four levers that move the needle:

1.  Product

2. Market

3. Message

4. Momentum

No bloated decks. No buzzwords. Just honest partnership, strategic sharpness, and the kind of grounded support that drives decisions — not just discussions.

We work with four core personas:

Startups.

Help build the right thing — and show where it’s going

Scaleups.

Answer “Who’s it for, what’s the pain, & how do we reach them?”

Investors.

Show “How do we make money — and can we grow sustainably?”

Innovators

Prove “Is this business structured, investable, and ready to raise?”

SaaS & Platform Strategy

Mobility & Transport Technology

What we’re not

Let’s Be Clear: What We’re Not

We love clarity almost as much as we love building great ventures. So, before we tell you who we are, let’s rule out who we’re not:

Not an accelerator

We’re not here to herd you through a generic cohort programme.

Not a venture studio

We don’t churn out cookie-cutter companies from a template.

Not a middleman

We’re not just making introductions and stepping back.

Not a passive advisor

We don’t sit in board meetings nodding politely and sending you PDFs.

We are your venture partner — with skin in the game.

Fully invested in the journey, sharing both the risk and the reward, and committed to building ventures that balance profit, purpose, and people.

Company Responsibility

We believe building great companies means more than growth metrics. At Venture & Prosper, we actively support mental health and wellbeing in the workplace, champion Investors in People, and back positive ESG and social impact initiatives.

We’re proud supporters of It’s Time 2 Thrive — a mental health and neurodiversity training company helping workplaces become healthier, more inclusive, and future-ready.

our team

Meet the minds behind Venture & Prosper.

V&P is a diverse, international team of like-minded operators — former founders, PE-backed tech and SaaS leaders, board members, and non-exec directors. We’re united by one thing: turning founder ambition into execution. Between us, we’ve navigated the exact challenges start-up and scale-up leaders face, and we bring the domain expertise, capability, and track record to help you succeed. Our team spans the UK, Europe, North America, India, and the Middle East — and is still growing. Through our global partners and associates, we add specialist know-how to scale faster and more repeatably for our clients. We don’t just advise from the sidelines. We join the journey, put skin in the game, and share in your success.
