Every introduction is a personal endorsement from Luke. Connect with the right people across the global community. Introductions are networking facilitation, not financial intermediation.

 
 
 
 

MARKET INTELLIGENCE

Community Insights

Member-written perspectives and analysis published for informational purposes only. Nothing published constitutes investment advice or a recommendation to buy or sell.

 
 
 
 

EVENTS & MEETUPS

Global & Local Events

The Founding story

The Venture Network did not begin as a platform. It began as a conversation — a small group of investors, operators, and deal professionals who kept finding each other useful and decided to stay in the same room.

There was no launch event. No press release. No product. Just a shared belief that the most valuable capital relationships are built quietly, over time, between people who trust each other.

The founding members are the people who were there at the beginning. Who contributed before there was anything to contribute to. Who helped shape the norms, the tone, and the standard that every new member enters into.

  Created by the people that showed up first

 
 
 

ORIGIN

A WhatsApp Group

It started as a single message thread between people who kept referring deals to each other. It grew because the quality stayed high.

WHAT FOUNDING MEMBERS BUILT

The room others walk into

Every new member who joins TVN today enters a community whose culture, standards, and deal flow were shaped by the founding cohort.

 "Every network worth being part of was built by a small group of people who decided it mattered before anyone else did."​

WHAT HAS NOT CHANGED

Every member reviewed personally

From the first member to the most recent, every application is read by Luke before access is granted. That has never changed.

FOUNDING MEMBER STATUS

Permanent · Non-transferable
