The Venture-Driven Economy Isn’t Working For Your Startup
The venture-driven innovation economy has created jobs, opportunity, technologies that’ve changed the way we live—and an unprecedented $109 trillion in wealth for US households and nonprofits, and $2.1 trillion in uninvested investor capital waiting to be put to work.
But that capital plays favorites.
Time for a New Strategy
You don’t fit “the pattern” so you can’t change the old venture capital game. Time for a new game…one fit for a world where the minority will soon be the majority in virtually every strategically important market and profession. Join The Venture Guild, a community of founders and entrepreneurs from over 1000 colleges, hundreds of advisors and investors, and technical and non-technical student talent from the US, Canada, India, China, Europe, Israel, and Africa.
What the 🤬 is The Venture Guild?
The Venture Guild is a division of The Wonder Guild, a strategy company that invests our networks, expertise, and access to funding and talent in great companies and intellectual property (IP) with great founders and inventors of any race, gender or nationality, from any school.
When you join The Venture Guild community, you’ll find:
Put The Venture Guild to Work for Your Startup
We don’t work the way others do. We work on sweat equity until you get financial equity. We build communities and ecosystems that feed one another. We focus on alternative funding sources like corporate investors, foundations and customers, and promote shared success–yours, ours and that of shareholders, fellow founders and stakeholders. And we select a very small percentage of The Venture Guild community to join The Wonder Guild’s Portfolio Companies.
Benefits for The Wonder Guild Portfolio Companies:
- Warm introductions to our extensive, global network of industry experts, target customers, investors and partners
- Promotion of your company and products to potential customers and to influential consumers
- Advice on product, pitch and company development
- Support in validating, testing, and piloting your product
- Support or full management of monetizing your intellectual property
Companies We’re Interested In:
How to Apply
- Apply for selection as a Venture Guild company
- Be open, ready and committed to working the new strategy
- Agree to give The Venture Guild 2% equity or 10% commission on qualified transactions (a very reasonable price for our valuable services—and a small but smart investment in your future)
A community that invests in one another, grows rich together.
The Venture Guild is not a social network. We actively cultivate, pollinate and meticulously prune our community to ensure it continuously generates value in the form of access to advisors, funders, talent, partners and markets that grow your startup’s revenue, funding, and equity.
Yes, the Venture Guild invests in the community but we also expect the community to invest in itself–evangelizing one another’s products and companies, sharing funder and customer leads, partnering to scale or reach new markets, and exchanging equity for one another’s talent and business services.
