VenturePM · Open source · v0.3

One PM. The whole pipeline.

The open-source OS for corporate innovation programs.

Get started on GitHub → See how it works

Running a Venture Client program means juggling challenge workshops, solver pipelines, fit evaluations, pilot designs, and executive reporting — often across multiple organizations at once.

Most of that work is structured and repeatable. But without a system, context gets lost between sessions, decisions go undocumented, and every cycle starts from scratch — because the learnings from the last one never had a place to live.

VenturePM gives it a home.

What it is

01

Methodology

The pipeline, vocabulary, and decision logic — codified. The process is the product. Claude is the current runtime, not the boundary of what this can become.

02

Commands

13 /vpm- commands that drive every phase forward — from setup to pilot close. Each one follows defined steps and writes results to the right files.

03

Living Memory

Every entity is a Markdown file. You own the data. No third-party dependency, no lock-in. The program memory grows with every session.

How it works

Setup
Challenges
Scouting
Evaluation
Pilots
Setup Define program, organizations, and governance. Initialize the hierarchy.
Challenges Identify and prioritize real operational problems. Each challenge has an owner.
Scouting Source solvers through structured methods. Generate profiles with fit assessments.
Evaluation Score fit across strategic, technical, and operational dimensions. Advance, hold, or reject.
Pilots Design and run time-boxed pilots. Close with a Scale / Extend / Stop decision.

Methodology

VenturePM is grounded in Venture Client theory and corporate innovation practice. It draws from direct program experience and peer-reviewed research. The methodology is intentionally generic — no assumptions about industry, geography, or institution.
