What you need to get started
An email address or Google account, your city, your role, and a short description of your business or your investing thesis. A profile photo is required before you can browse the deck.
You must be 18 or older. Date of birth is collected once and used only to confirm eligibility and show your age range.
How Venturα works
Create a free profile, pick your role — business owner, investor, or aspiring partner — and set your city, industry, and check size. The deck then surfaces people whose intent lines up with yours.
Swipe through profiles, connect when both sides are interested, and message from there. Nothing opens until the interest is mutual, so no one gets cold-pitched.
Why profiles are trustworthy
Every member can complete a face check that compares a live selfie against their profile photo. Verified accounts carry a badge, so you know who you are talking to before you share numbers.
Members can report or block anyone, and profile details beyond name and photo stay hidden until you match.
Find your partner or investor on Venturα
Create a profile, set your city, industry, and check size, and match with business owners, investors, and operating partners. Messaging opens only when both sides connect.
