About Ventura
Ventura builds AI workforce solutions designed specifically for distributors and manufacturers, helping them automate critical operational processes. Founded in 2025 and based in San Francisco, the two-person team—led by CEO Swen, a former BCG consultant with experience exiting a B2B SaaS company in industrial automation, and CTO Jack, a founding engineer who scaled Develop Health to $7M ARR—is already working with customers operating at massive scale, moving thousands of truckloads daily and generating billions in revenue. The company launched with a quoting and order entry product for industrial distributors and has achieved profitability while expanding its platform; customers are now requesting automation across five additional processes, signaling strong product-market fit. As a Y Combinator W26 batch company, Ventura is positioned to capture significant opportunity in the underserved industrial automation market.
