“...one of the best decisions we’ve made as a company”

River Mist

Cofounder, Weights.com (acquired by OpenAI)

Working with Jeff and the Venice team has been one of the best decisions we've made as a company. They are more than design partners - they dive deep into the product, philosophy, and users to understand not just what the designs should look like, but what the entire direction of the product should be. I would recommend them to anyone. Venice team is lightning fast and world-class. In just two weeks, they took us from ideas to a full brand, identity, and website—executed with insane attention to detail. What they created is more exciting than anything we could have come up with ourselves. Founders: don’t think twice, work with Venice

"I’ve worked with design agencies for over a decade and this was by far the best experience I’ve had."

Danan Margason

Founder, AardenAI

When we got in touch with Jeff and Venice, we needed quality design work fast. We had been in stealth mode without a working website or product, and suddenly got hit with a surge of client demand. I asked other founders how we could get high-quality UX and brand support that could spin up in days: everyone said to use Venice. Jeff and team understood our very complex business immediately, and started shipping quality designs within 2 days. Basically every day after that we had new iterations, all very thoughtful and intentional. I’ve worked with design agencies for over a decade and this was by far the best experience I’ve had. Venice was absolutely essential to getting Aarden off the ground.
