# Blue Venture Studios Full Profile

Blue Venture Studios is a small Australian holding company owned by three operators: Dean Fankhauser, Dan Sutherland, and Ersel Aydin.

It holds operating companies built around the same principle: assemble the canonical database an industry is missing, make it unique and trustworthy with data nobody else has, then build a business on top of it.

No outside capital. No fund. No limited partners.

## Operating Thesis

BVS builds companies around canonical industry databases.

The pattern is to find an industry where the data is fragmented, assemble the database the industry does not have, add proprietary data nobody else can easily collect, and then build a business on top.

The database is the moat. The business pays for the database.
