We've built and sold what we now build for you
Most agencies have never shipped a product. We've built and sold a consumer robotics company, shipped hardware to customers around the world, and we're now building an AI company of our own. You get a CXO's instinct: build fast, grow deliberately.
The work gets done. End to end.
Named in week one.
We find the real bottleneck before a line of code is written.
Shipped in weeks.
Product, tools, and automations. You own the code.
Compounds monthly.
Ads, SEO, and AI search, measured against your baseline.
A clear path from problem to growth
Four steps, and you see value at each one.
Diagnose
We dig into your business with you: the real pain points, the numbers, where growth is stuck.
Strategize together
We build the plan with the founders, not in a vacuum. You sign off on the path before we build.
Build everything
Marketing, brand, website, software, internal tools. Whatever the strategy calls for, we deliver it.
Grow & iterate
We run it, measure against a baseline, and keep compounding. One accountable partner, monthly.
Your product and growth partner. Four capabilities, one team.
Strategy & diagnosis
We start by understanding your business. Founder workshops, growth audits, and a clear opportunity map before anyone builds anything.
Software & AI
AI applications, agents, MVPs, internal tools, and automations. Whatever software the strategy needs, we build it, fast.
Growth marketing
Paid (Google & Meta), SEO, AI search optimization, lifecycle and analytics, run as a system and measured against a baseline.
Brand & web
Positioning, identity, and websites that convert. The story and the surface your growth runs on.
What "no handoff" actually looks like
Two ways in. One partnership.
Pick the path that sounds like you.
Build the product and the growth.
One team for your AI product, the tools behind it, and the first traction around it.
Run your growth, end to end.
One team for strategy, brand, the website, marketing, and the software it all needs.
Measured on your growth.
We stay on the number after the work ships, and we are still there when it moves. That is the whole relationship: your growth is the thing we are judged on.
The things people ask first
What is Horizon Tech Ventures?+
Horizon Tech Ventures is a technology and growth partner for founders and established businesses. One team sets the strategy, builds the software, and runs the growth, with one number we are all judged on. It is run by the two founders who built and sold Square Off.
Is Horizon a marketing agency or a software company?+
Neither. An agency stops where your product starts. A software shop will not own your growth. We do both, and we carry one number for it.
How is a growth partner different from hiring an agency?+
An agency runs campaigns: ads, SEO, social. It stops at your product and your software. We start with the strategy, then build whatever the plan needs, including the website, the internal tools, and the custom software, and we stay on the number afterwards.
Do you work with startups or established businesses?+
Both. Founders come to us to build a product and the growth around it; established businesses come to us for a recurring partnership that runs strategy, marketing, brand, and the tools that support them. Same model, tuned to where you're starting.
Do you only work with Silicon Valley companies?+
We're based in Silicon Valley and we bring that engineering-and-growth standard to every client, but we work with businesses across the Bay Area and remotely anywhere. Being in the Valley is our pedigree, not a fence around who we serve.
How does an engagement start?+
With a free consultation. We look at your business, name the real bottleneck, and sketch what we'd build to fix it, in about 30 minutes, with no obligation. If it's a fit, we scope a partnership. If not, you keep the plan.
