A software holding company
We build companies,then we run them.
Ptacek Ventures starts, builds and operates its own software businesses. No fund, and no exit clock.

We're not a fund, and nothing here is built to flip. We start software companies around problems that never go out of style, sell them ourselves, and stay on to run them — for years, not quarters.

The companies
Two companies. Both operating.
How a company gets built
Five steps. Every time.
- 01
Find the unglamorous problem
Something tedious and necessary that a real customer is annoyed by today.
- 02
Build the smallest real product
Do the work by hand for someone paying, and keep only what earns its place.
- 03
Sell it ourselves
Direct sales, direct support, direct feedback. Nobody in between.
- 04
Turn the service into software
Automate ourselves out of the job, one step at a time.
- 05
Stay on and operate
No fund life, no exit clock. Still running it — better — in ten years.
