# Blue Venture Studios

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

## 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.
