How Venture Architects at whataventure turn ideas into impact
At whataventure, we believe entrepreneurship isn’t just a job title— it’s a mindset. It’s about spotting opportunities in unexpected places, taking initiative without waiting for permission, and turning bold ideas into real ventures and new business impact.
No one brings this to life more clearly than our Venture Architects. We spoke with one of them to explore how entrepreneurial thinking shapes their day-to-day work — and why whataventure is the ideal place to turn ideas into new business opportunities.
Opportunity starts with awareness
For our Venture Architects, the entrepreneurial mindset begins with curiosity and awareness.
“It’s about training your mind to be constantly alert. Whether it’s during a casual conversation with friends or reading about tech trends, I’m always asking: is there an opportunity here? Could we build something to solve this?”
This constant mental scanning is what helps our teams stay sharp, forward-thinking, and ready to act.
From ideas to tangible products
Being a Venture Architect is not about watching others build — it’s about getting your hands dirty.
“I wanted to be at the forefront of innovation. Not just dreaming up ideas, but shaping them into real solutions. There’s no better feeling than seeing someone use a product you helped bring to life.”
This builder mentality is central to the role. Our teams move from exploration to execution with speed and ownership.
A culture of proactivity
At whataventure, we don’t wait for perfect conditions to try something new.
“We don’t ask, ‘Do we have budget?’ or ‘Whose job is this?’ Instead, we ask, ‘How do we make this happen?’ Innovation isn’t a side activity here — it’s the core of our work.”
That mindset creates momentum. It enables our teams to be entrepreneurs while working within a strong support system.
Entrepreneurship in action: Venture sprints & smart problem-solving
One recent example of this mindset in practice was our internal venture ideation sprint. Three teams focused on different industries, each identifying major challenges and developing new venture ideas from scratch.
“Being part of this let me shape an idea from the ground up — and potentially bring it to life with the right partners.”
But ideas are only valuable if they’re validated. Faced with tight timelines, the team looked for faster ways to reach users. Instead of hiring an agency, they found a creative, lean solution.
“We asked ourselves: where do people share opinions openly? The answer was Reddit.”
By connecting directly with active communities, they secured high-quality interviews in days — not weeks. It’s a perfect example of entrepreneurial problem-solving in action.
Our Go-Getter Spirit
Entrepreneurial thinking is more than encouraged at whataventure — it’s part of our DNA.
“When someone has an idea, the response isn’t ‘maybe later.’ It’s ‘go for it, let’s see what happens.’”
We call it our go-getter spirit, and it empowers every team member to lead.
Final Thought
Entrepreneurship is about ownership, creativity, and courage. At whataventure, it’s not just a mindset — it’s how we work, every single day.
