Our goal is to provide what amounts to a “best of” catalog of some of the best advice, lessons, insights, or innovations that can be useful to founders and venture capitalists (VCs) alike.
We hope startup managers and VCs develop more understanding of one another, and, in doing so, a strong spirit of collaboration and transparency.
Patterns mean recurring strategies or ways of thinking about the world. To date, we have taken a primarily descriptive approach in identifying, naming, and comparing and contrasting patterns. The pattern list can be used as a catalog for understanding and also for implementation.
Venture Patterns is inspired by a number of excellent books and websites. This includes “Design Patterns,” “Super Thinking,” “Great Mental Models,” and Farnam Street, among others. These other projects catalog the patterns in decision making, software engineering, and other fields.
We are brought to you by Purpose Built.
