THE AGE OF INFLUENCE

VNTR is a brand accelerator.

We initiate and guide partnerships between select start-ups and respected influencers—activating their alliances to build the brands of tomorrow.

HOW TO VNTR
Entrepreneurs have long turned to high-profile faces to grow their businesses, and today’s celebrities have broader reach than ever. 

But traditional pay-to-say endorsements are broken. In today’s authenticity-driven Age of Influence, we champion a new partnership model, one that can readily yield the trusted recommendations buyers demand.

WE NETWORK.

VNTR comes with good company. We make it our business to know about start-ups who’ve launched into smaller markets with strong proof of concept. We’re also proud to maintain a discrete community of high-profile influencers with entrepreneurial ambitions and values of their own. They want to feel a real connection and join at the heart of a business, not just as the face of it.

WE BRIDGE.

Both start-ups and respected names come with unique attributes that can fuel mutual success. We draw those connections, bridging perspectives to build on their pure potential. Our message to start-ups? “Take the leap.” Our message to celebrities? “Build something that deserves your personal investment, not just your endorsement.” We’re a strategic resource, recommending smart plans from the start.

WE ACCELERATE.

VNTR fuels brands’ progress by pulsing in and out of the start-up growth cycle at the moments when we can provide the biggest benefit. Our partners gain momentum as we help them build their Commercial Brand (branding and communications), their Human Brand (optimizing the starter/influencer relationship) and their Financial Brand (paths to sustainability). Every facet of need is addressed. Every window of opportunity, seized.

We Ask Only for Equity.

We believe in our approach. We believe in the new brands we discover. And we believe in the celebrity influencers who feed start-ups’ growth while building their own financial futures. So for all that we bring to the table, what we take—rather than a fee—is a small equity stake.

At VNTR, authentically, we invest in each other.
