Be a Venturist

Venturist (Venturist - An individual or organisation which participates in a business enterprise involving some risk in expectation of gain.) : noun An individual or organisation which participates in a business enterprise involving some risk in expectation of gain.

We are a company bringing talented technical experts and businesses together in a new way - the aim is to benefit both. Instead of you simply paying up front for a team of developers to work for you, we take a stake in your business and work to an agreed business plan, with a much reduced initial outlay, tying our rewards to your success!

Venture Programmers - Growing big business from small ideas

Why should you use our services?

There are two main reasons why you as a Venturist, should choose Venture Programmers to develop your Internet based business solution.
  1. You know you need a technical solution for your business - but you also want finance for that solution. You'll get more value for money (or, more accurately, for a stake in your business) than you would by hiring a software company in the conventional way. If you come armed with cash, you'll still need to find a company you trust to do your development - not easy unless you are experienced with dealing with that sort of outfit. If you go to a 'business angel' to secure funding they will take a stake in your business just the same as us, but since the software company will be making a profit too, you'll have to give away a larger stake in order to finance your project.

  2. Paying a software company to develop your solution buys you a fixed amount of their time. They will want to maximise their own margins in order to satisfy their brief and if they can cut corners, then they will. To make the most profit they have to complete your work as quickly as possible and move onto the next job - it's business, not personal! Using a team of Venture Programmers is very different. You get a team made up of individuals who have a personal financial interest in ensuring that what they build for you will do the job intended - and do it well. You get a team in whose interest it is to suggest and implement improvements and provide you with ongoing support.

    In short, through Venture Programmers, you can get a level of commitment to your business that money simply cannot buy. Unlike a conventional software company, we will not take your investment and build a solution that will never make money. If we don't build you something that works, then we get nothing in return, so we will make sure we do!
Our Case Studies will give you a better understanding of how you could benefit from using Venture Programmers.
