Strategyn Ventures, LLC


Innovation is broken. We're here to fix it.

We are a very different type of venture firm. We do just about everything differently. Why? Because the traditional venture process is fundamentally broken. Let's just look at the facts:

  • 90% of all new products fail.

  • Only 11% of all venture investments get to liquidity.

  • Only 4% of all venture capital generates 63% of all the returns.

  • And almost half of all third venture rounds are flat or down.

Think about this for a minute. If you are an entrepreneur using traditional venture innovation methods, your chances of success are close to zero.

We aren't making this up. These facts come from the Harvard Business School, PricewaterhouseCoopers, and Dow Jones. Every report on the venture industry says basically the same thing: the success rate is extremely low. For every Google, there are thousands and thousands of complete failures. If any other business process had a success rate this low, you would shut it down and start over with something completely new.

Which is exactly what we did.

So how did we fix the innovation problem? Well, it didn't happen overnight. We've spent the past two decades studying and managing every part of the innovation process in just about every industry. We've managed innovation in every possible type of market, whether it’s software tools, medical devices, hardware, information services, or wireless. After managing over 200 projects, performing extensive primary research, and conducting thorough quantitative analysis, we created Outcome-Driven Innovation®  (ODI).

ODI is proven, and it works. We developed and refined ODI with the world's leading companies, and we helped launch some of the most successful and fastest-growing products in history.

We started Strategyn Ventures to create a venture process that works better for you. We know what it takes to start a company, build a team, and ship great products because we've done it. And we know how tough it really is.

We make your job as an entrepreneur easier because ODI takes the frustration and risk out of innovation.

If you love the excitement of working with start-ups, but want a better way to develop breakthrough innovations, we encourage you to learn more about ODI. And please contact us.
