Why Venture Drive
Venture Drive Consulting is a Seattle-based firm that is dedicated to driving innovation and new growth in companies by adapting the best practices of innovation strategists, successful entrepreneurs, and venture capitalists. Our approach builds on the experience of our founder, Mark Kotzer, who recognized the need for practical guidance on vetting and launching new ventures in established companies.
We differ from most other consulting firms in three key ways:
- New Venture Expertise: We’ve developed a sharp eye for determining which new business ideas have market potential. We gained this expertise by evaluating hundreds of business plans, advising dozens of start-ups, and working in the trenches with start-ups of our own.
- Entrepreneurial Mindset: At our core we are scrappy entrepreneurs. We have a history of launching new products on a shoestring and rapidly cultivating Fortune 1000 clients and top-tier strategic partners. We apply this approach to drive intrapreneurial efforts within mid-market and large companies
- Best Practice Aggregation: We've distilled the best practices of leading innovation strategists, entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs, and venture capital firms for driving innovation, identifying high-potential growth opportunities, and launching internal start-ups. We adapt the best practices across industry sectors to support the innovation and new growth goals of our clients.
