A unified global startup ecosystem
Levelling the playing field
Venture Way is a virtual ecosystem that brings together startups, investors, mentors, co-founders, incubators, service providers and other ecosystem enablers from around the world.
Our Thesis
We believe that startup ecosystems need not be considered location specific anymore. Technology now enables us to work seamlessly as one inclusive and unified global startup ecosystem that shares resources. We believe that such a virtual ecosystem that provides equal opportunities to founders, investors and other stakeholders in every remote location in the world, can substantially catalyse global economic growth and inclusive human development through entrepreneurship.

Over the years, communities across the globe have recognized that startups tend to thrive better in certain locations which are particularly conducive for their growth, and many studies have tried to enumerate the different elements that work together to help create such a resourceful environment for startups. This holistic and synergistic environment is often referred to as a ‘startup ecosystem’.
Startup ecosystems have always been considered location specific, but we at Venture Way believe that today, a startup ecosystem can be fully virtual. A virtual ecosystem might not offer some of the benefits of a geographic location-based startup ecosystem, but it can actually become exceedingly more resourceful in many other ways. This is the Venture Way thesis.
We envision a seamless ecosystem that would allow a founder living in any remote location to build a founding team, raise investments, and obtain the support services they need from any part of the world. With this vision, Venture Way is leading the way to create a global startup ecosystem that transcends borders and works towards ensuring that aspiring entrepreneurs in the remotest parts of the world can be a part of a resourceful global startup ecosystem that would provide them the same opportunities as are available to startups in the most advanced and matured startup ecosystems in the world.
Our Vision

Our Mission
To bring together founders, investors, mentors, service providers, governments, academic institutions and other ecosystem enablers from around the world under one umbrella and provide a platform for all these stakeholders in the startup ecosystem to cooperate with each other and together nurture entrepreneurship.

Our Philosophy
At Venture Way, profits and revenues are not priorities, serving the ecosystem is. And as surprising as it may seem, we do that entirely pro bono.
The virtual ecosystem we are building is free of cost to all stakeholders and we do not charge any fees, carry or commissions at any stage. Venture Way’s revenues are limited to our returns from our direct investments in startups.
This philosophy of ours is based upon the personal convictions of Venture Way’s founders, and has also been inspired by the #givefirst philosophy propagated by the founders of Techstars. We truly believe that when you give first, you're essentially willing to invest energy into a relationship or system without specifying what you will get in return, but the reward exists regardless of where, when, and how it appears.
