A DIFFERENT KIND OF CONSULTING COMPANY.
We're entrepreneurs just like you. All of us at Venture 7 have started, grown, and successfully sold our own companies (several times).
​
We're more than business sale intermediaries. We're strategists and doers who understand the challenges of building and exiting a business - because we've lived it.
​
If you're thinking about your exit, call us at 802.489.7700.
