A business registry works just like a baby or wedding registry; Register for the cash, supplies, and services you need so your network can celebrate your big idea with you!

Venture Wishes has all the tools necessary to develop dreams into businesses and share your business with your network in a meaningful, tangible way.

If you are looking to build, grow, sell, and seek investment capital, then Venture Wishes is the place for you. Share your registry with everyone you know – and watch the results roll in.

Getting started is simple! Open your free account, add items to your registry, share with your network, and collect!

Venture Wishes is for social entrepreneurs, small and growing business owners, nonprofits, or creative projects.

Everyone talks about launching a business but nobody is talking about how you actually fund it. Until us!

It takes money to make your idea happen – whatever your tax structure you need solid funding strategies guiding your decisions.

Venture Wishes is a micro-gifting platform designed to raise between $1,000 – $15,000 – the amount that is normally gifted for a wedding or baby shower.

Traditional crowdfunding platforms are great for raising large amounts of money – the trade-off is they require a significant amount of planning as well as marketing and advertising budgets to be successful.

A Venture Wishes registry is the friends, family, and followers round of funding. The people who are in your corner and ready to celebrate you and your life milestones whether you are getting married, having children, graduating, or launching a business. 

A Venture Wishes registry gives you the opportunity to test your market and business concept and the funds to get started without having to go into debt or risk your savings.

Best of all just like a wedding gift – you get to keep whatever funds you are gifted!

This is also an opportunity to say goodbye to bad gifts!

Tell people what you REALLY want for your birthday or the holidays that will change the trajectory of your life

  • You can use a registry for any stage of your business or project.
  • Host a start-up shower
  • Celebrate a business anniversary
  • Recognize a retirement
  • Any opportunity to give a gift and celebrate someone in your life for their accomplishment

We wanted to create a new life milestone to celebrate with as much bravado as a wedding or baby shower!

It is founded on the premise that empathy is vital for successful organizations, trust is vital for leading people, and the best organizations allow people to show up as their authentic selves.

Our goal is to create another reason to party and normalize celebrating following your career passions!

We charge a 5% fee to support our internal business operations. There is also a 2.9% + 30 cents per transaction fee charged by our external provider, Stripe.

We specifically chose Stripe as our payment processor. Their corporate culture and business ethics make them a trusted resource going above and beyond to support their customers. We share a similar mission and have a strong focus on developing start-up organizations.

Stripe’s features allow us to serve a global audience and allow registry creators to receive payments in their home currency.

Using stripe reduces fraud and also enables identity verification which protects both us and our customers.

Just like any standard registry, anything purchased through your campaign is yours to keep (less site fees).
