Due diligence is broken.
We built the fix we wished existed.
Before signing a contract, awarding a supplier, making an investment, or placing a candidate, you need a clear picture of who you are dealing with. That research currently means jumping between Companies House, LinkedIn, Glassdoor, news archives, and Trustpilot: manually, across multiple tabs, hoping nothing material slips through.
Most people cut corners. Not because they do not care, but because the process is slow, fragmented, and offers no structured way to document what you found and why it mattered. Ventur was built to fix that. Not by replacing professional judgement, but by doing the time-consuming parts automatically, so the judgement part gets the attention it deserves.
The problem became obvious.
The same pattern kept appearing across investment and commercial due diligence: important checks skipped not from carelessness, but because the manual process was too slow for how decisions actually get made. Research that should happen before a decision was consistently happening after, or not at all.
Alpha v1: Proof that it could work.
The first version could search any UK company and return a structured, source-linked profile in minutes: Companies House, news archives, Glassdoor, Trustpilot, and director registers, with risk flags surfaced automatically. Investment and procurement teams replaced hours of manual research with a single search.
Alpha v2: Structure, confidence, and a human in the loop.
Four dedicated research modes: due diligence, investment, recruitment, and procurement. Assessment Confidence scoring, Financial Health data from Companies House filings, a colour-coded Evidence Annex linking every finding to its source, and a human analyst layer for independent scrutiny when it matters.
A few things worth being clear about.
Ventur surfaces what is publicly available and structures it clearly. It does not replace a lawyer, auditor, or qualified adviser. The disclaimer exists for a reason.
Some companies file minimally. Some risks do not appear in public records. Where data is limited, Ventur says so. The Assessment Confidence rating exists precisely for this.
Ventur is designed natively for UK due diligence: Companies House filings, UK company law, UK-registered entities. European coverage is in development soon, built to the same standard.
Built by a small team with a specific problem to solve.
We are not a large company. We are a focused one. If you want to speak to the people building this, you can. That is the point of the private alpha.
