About Me

I’m Douglas Seabrooke — founder of VentureEdge.

I’ve always been drawn to entrepreneurship. Not just the outcomes, but the intent behind it — people choosing to build something new, take responsibility, and try to change the world in their own way.

I genuinely enjoy working with people at the early stages of building, when ideas are forming and possibilities are wide open. VentureEdge grew out of that passion — a way for me to support entrepreneurs in a thoughtful, practical, and collaborative way.

If you care about what you’re building and want someone supportive alongside you, I’m always happy to have a conversation.

My Mission

My mission is to help entrepreneurs grow their ideas with clarity and confidence, so their time, effort, and ambition are spent in the right direction.

A thought I often come back to

“When people start building something, they usually focus on the known knowns — what they’re excited about and what they believe they understand. They’re also aware of the known unknowns — the obvious questions they expect to figure out along the way.

What tends to shape the journey most, though, are the unknown unknowns — the things no one realises they should be thinking about yet. When those surface late, they feel like bad luck. When they surface early, they feel like clarity.

A big part of my work is helping bring those questions forward before commitment, while it’s still cheap to adjust.”
