The Company
1848 Ventures is a thriving Venture Studio focused on consistently launching and scaling a portfolio of B2B SaaS businesses with solutions powered by AI. We’re inspired by meeting small and medium sized business owners where they are and partnering to deliver solutions that help them navigate uncertainty and gain competitive advantage.
Developed in 2018 as a wholly owned subsidiary of Westfield, it’s through their financial backing that we’re enabled to learn and move with velocity without additional effort around raising capital. We take the best of validated approaches, methodologies, and talent while continuously learning and iterating to create successful ventures in a repeatable way.
Our ecosystem is supported by shared resources across all ventures and our venture studio model relentlessly focuses on decision making – grounded in desirability, feasibility, and viability – ensuring we’re looking at businesses and opportunities holistically. We share an appetite for driving results together through a balance of experimentation, mitigation, and employee well-being.
