OUR MISSION

You don't have to go it alone

Founders face difficult decisions every day. And the answers aren't hidden in more podcasts or LinkedIn playbooks.

Solutions come from conversations with people who've been there, built through it, and are still building.

But finding your people isn't easy. Especially across a continent as diverse and fragmented as ours. When you do, though — it changes everything.

That's what Venice is for. Venice gives you immediate access to the collective intelligence of Europe's best eCommerce founders.

No spam. No pitches. No wasted time.

Venice is where Europe's next generation of brands are being built
