VENTURE OS

10 CONNECTED MODULES

Run every venture programme

on one operating system.

Ten connected modules cover the whole path: intake, canvas, experiments, mentoring, stage gates, capital and reporting. One venture record, updated by everyone who touches it.

MODULE 01 / 10

Cohort

Applications, screening and the roster for every intake.

FEEDS

Venture Record, Curriculum

MODULE INDEX

Ten modules. One record underneath all of them.

Start with the two or three modules you need this cohort. Switch the rest on when you are ready — nothing has to be migrated, because every module reads the same venture record.

Open a module to see what it covers.

Everything from open call to a signed-up intake.

  • Application forms and eligibility rules
  • Scoring by panel, with reviewer conflicts flagged
  • Offers, acceptances and the final roster

The single file every other module writes into.

The business model, kept honest.

Proof that teams are learning, not just building.

Mentor time, matched and accounted for.

The taught programme, delivered and tracked.

Stage gates that decide who continues.

Money in, money out, on the record.

Every cohort you have ever run, in one view.

Reports built from live data, not spreadsheets.

THE LOOP

How a cohort actually moves.

Five stages, run once per cohort and again for the next one. The stages are where your team spends its week. The record is what survives between them.

STAGE 01

Intake

Open the call, score applications against your own criteria, make offers and lock the roster.

OUTPUT — A ROSTER, NOT A SPREADSHEET

Cohort · Venture Record

STAGE 02

Shape

Each team writes a canvas and names the assumption that would kill the business if it were wrong.

OUTPUT — A RANKED ASSUMPTION LIST

Canvas · Mentors

STAGE 03

Test

Teams run experiments with success criteria agreed before they start, and log what actually happened.

OUTPUT — EVIDENCE, DATED AND ATTRIBUTED

Experiments · Curriculum

STAGE 04

Gate

A panel reviews the readiness score and decides: continue, pivot, or stop. The rationale is recorded.

OUTPUT — A DECISION YOU CAN DEFEND

Milestones · Capital

STAGE 05

Account

Capital is released against the gate, results roll into the portfolio and the reports write themselves.

OUTPUT — REPORTS TRACEABLE TO SOURCE

Portfolio · Reporting

LOOP REPEATS — THE VENTURE RECORD PERSISTS

WHO RUNS ON IT

Four kinds of operator, one set of modules.

The work looks different in a university lab and a ministry programme office. What they share is a need to prove the money produced something.

Spin-outs and student ventures sit in different offices with different spreadsheets. Venture OS puts both on one record so the tech transfer office and the enterprise team stop reconciling numbers by email.

Typical usePre-incubator, accelerator, spin-out pipeline
Reports toResearch office, Innovate UK, HEIF returns
Modules firstCohort, Canvas, Curriculum, Reporting

THE RECORD

One venture. One file. Every module writing to it.

Most programmes lose the thread between cohorts — the deck is in a drive, the mentor notes are in an inbox, the grant conditions are in a PDF. Venture OS keeps them on the same record, so a question in year three can be answered from year one.

  • Nothing is entered twice — modules read, they do not copy.

  • Every field carries who changed it and when.

  • Readiness is calculated from logged evidence, never typed in by hand.

  • Records outlive the cohort, the staff and the funding round.

WHAT CHANGES

The admin stops being the job.

Programme teams tell us the same thing: the work they were hired for is coaching ventures, and the work that fills the week is chasing files. Figures below are medians across programmes running their second cohort on Venture OS.

11 hrs
Weekly admin saved per programme manager
3 days
To produce a funder report, down from six weeks
92%
Of gate decisions backed by logged evidence
4 yrs
Of alumni data still queryable after the cohort closes

QUESTIONS

Asked before the first call.

If yours is not here, ask it in the form below and we will answer in plain language.

Two weeks for a single cohort, four to six for a programme office with SSO and custom stage gates. We configure it with your team rather than handing over an empty system, and we sit in on the first intake.

TALK TO US
