Publications and Insights

Better execution starts with a better diagnosis.

Practical thinking for founders, CEOs, boards and investors deciding whether growth friction is operational, strategic or rooted in the category and market frame itself.

Most business writing starts too late.

It starts with pipeline, campaigns, sales process, product launches, hiring or execution discipline. Those issues matter. They become expensive when leadership has not first resolved what problem the company owns, which category governs interpretation, which alternatives the market compares it with, what creates urgency, which buyer carries the consequence, what proof earns belief and whether the GTM system reinforces the intended frame.

Venturoxx publications begin with the decision that governs the execution.

Category first. GTM second. Execution third.

Every Venturoxx publication is written to help a leader see the problem earlier, ask a better question, stop a weak response, test an assumption or make a clearer decision — useful even when no engagement follows.

What we write about

The publication system follows the decisions Venturoxx is built to address.

  • Strategic Diagnosis

    Distinguishing a root problem from a recurring symptom.

  • Category Risk

    How the wrong category, comparison set or market frame suppresses demand and strategic value.

  • Capital Risk

    How category weakness affects capital allocation, investor interpretation and the cost of continued execution.

  • Market Frame and Positioning

    How a company becomes understood, compared and valued before the buyer reaches the feature list.

  • Buyer and Proof

    How claims, proof and buying logic must reinforce one another.

  • GTM Consequences

    How category decisions shape sales, marketing, partners, market entry and revenue architecture.

  • Category Control

    How leadership prevents drift once the strategy meets execution.

  • European Market Context

    How regulation, industrial strength, enterprise complexity and market structure affect strategic choices in Europe.

Navigate by the decision, not by the date.

Venturoxx publishes executive articles, field notes, decision tools, research interpretations and connected series — and, through Frankwatching and other governed channels, work written for a broader audience without weakening the frame.

A publication earns its place when it carries a recognisable executive decision, an unexpected explanation, a grounded operator observation, a practical test and a sharp closing line — and remains useful without promoting Venturoxx.

Written and edited by Richard Poolman, Founder of Venturoxx.

Start with the decision

Some decisions require more than an article.

Where the issue carries material consequence, a focused conversation can establish what is actually at stake, whether the visible problem is the root problem, which evidence exists and whether independent diagnosis is warranted.
