Signed our first paying customer this morning. £480 a month on a three month term. Eighteen months of politely saying no to free pilots and it finally paid off.

Aventa Co-founder
Find the person to build it with.
Most ventures die for want of one other person. Aventa matches you on the things that actually decide whether a partnership survives: the skills you are missing, the stage you are at, and how much time each of you can genuinely give.
- Matched on skill gap, stage and commitment, not job title
- Every match arrives with the reason it fits
- Talk inside Aventa before you swap numbers
Live in the app
Aventa Swipe
Tinder, for business.
The fastest way to get through a lot of people quickly. Swipe through founders, co-founders, talent and investors that Aventa has already filtered down to the ones worth your time. Swipe right, and if it is mutual you are talking.
- Only people Aventa has already matched to your venture
- Mutual interest opens a conversation, nothing before
- Thirty seconds a day is enough to clear the queue

Aventa Side Hustle
Start something without quitting anything.
Most people who want to start a business already have a job. Side Hustle is built around the hours you actually have rather than the ones a full time founder has, breaking the venture into steps that fit an evening.
- Plans built around your real hours, not forty a week
- One next step at a time, in order
- Move to the full build whenever you are ready

Aventa Invest
A route to the right capital.
Investors see ventures that genuinely fit what they back, and founders stop cold messaging people who were never going to be interested. Both sides get the reason for the match, so the first conversation starts somewhere useful.
- Matched on thesis, stage, sector and cheque size
- Founders see who is actually active, not just listed
- Investors see readiness before the pitch, not after

Aventa Build
Plan the whole venture in one place.
The business plan, the model, the go to market, the first twelve months. Built with an assistant that already knows what you are making, so you are never starting from a blank page or explaining your business from scratch again.
- One plan the rest of the platform reads from
- Structure first, so you know what order to do things in
- Everything you write feeds your readiness score
Live in the app
Aventa Feed
The community, in the same place as the work.
Founders and investors posting what they are actually doing, next to the tools they are doing it with. Not a separate network you have to remember to check, and not a place where the loudest post wins.
- Founders, investors and operators in one feed
- Ask the room something and get answers from people who have done it
- What you post connects to what you are building
Live in the app
Looking at pre-seed B2B this quarter. If you have revenue, even small, and you can explain your unit economics on one screen, my inbox is open.
What did you pay your first hire? Trying to work out whether equity only is fair when I can barely pay myself yet. Honest answers welcome.
Rebuilt our onboarding at the weekend. Sign up to first useful action went from nine steps to three. Completion is up forty one per cent and nobody has complained.
Unpopular opinion: most pre-seed decks have too many slides and not enough numbers.

Aventa AI
An assistant that already knows your venture.
Ask it anything about your business and it answers with your business in mind. It has read your plan, it knows your stage and it knows who you are connected to, so you never spend the first ten minutes explaining yourself.
- Knows your plan, your stage and your network
- Answers with your venture in mind, not in general
- Sits across every other part of the platform

Why are we still using three platforms to build one business?
A founder keeps their network in one place, their thinking in another, and their route to capital somewhere else again. Three accounts. Three subscriptions. Not one of them knows what the others are doing. The tools are excellent. The connected ecosystem does not exist.
Three platforms. One fragmented journey. Read the full story
Not another tool for founders. The infrastructure underneath them.
AI sits across the whole platform as the intelligence layer, connecting the parts rather than sitting beside them.
- Build
- Plan and shape the venture in one place, with an assistant that already knows the whole picture.
- Match
- People, opportunities and capital surfaced because they fit what you are building, with the reason attached.
- Co-founder
- Find the person to build it with, rather than posting into the void and hoping the right one sees it.
- Invest
- A route to the right capital, and a way for investors to see ventures that genuinely match their thesis.
- Investor readiness
- An honest read on how ready you actually are, and what is weakest, before someone with a chequebook tells you.
- Feed
- A working community of founders and investors, in the same place as the work itself.
Today's venture journey is fragmented across multiple platforms.
Each of these does one part of the job properly. None of them does the whole thing, and none of them connects to the others.
