SOLUTION · VENTURE STUDIO

One AI executive team. Every venture.

You run 3 to 15 businesses. Each one technically needs a CMO, a VP Sales, a COO. Hiring 25 fractional humans is impossible math; staffing one ventures-team-of-five for everything means each venture gets 20% of an exec's attention. Both options fail.

Merkava gives you one AI executive team — GROWTH, SALES, OPS, TECH, FINANCE — that you point at every venture. Each venture gets full attention because the execs run in parallel, not in serial. $599/mo for the C Suite, infinite ventures. Cross-venture intelligence rolls up in one workspace. Your day is pattern recognition; theirs is execution.

EVERY TOOL INCLUDED

Each venture in the portfolio gets the full AI exec team and every tool the execs need. No deciding which venture gets Ahrefs this month. $599/mo C Suite per venture is the entire stack — multiply by ventures, not by SaaS subscriptions.

THE PAIN

Running a studio is compounding tool-sprawl.

Every venture has a different stack. This one's on Squarespace, that one's on Webflow, the new one's on Framer. Content lives in four CMSes.
Cross-venture visibility is manual. A weekly "studio sync" spreadsheet that takes a half day to update, which means it gets updated twice a month.
Playbooks don't replicate. The launch playbook that worked on venture three lives in the founder's head. Venture five has to reinvent it.
Per-seat billing × ventures = math you hate. HubSpot seats, ahrefs seats, Linear seats, repeated per business. Your tool bill scales faster than your revenue.

RECOMMENDED STACK

Built for studios that launch often.

The portfolio tier is designed around this use case. Drives are installed once; each venture gets its own scope; Merkava rolls up.

Spark

One-sentence venture scaffold. Repo + Railway + domain + site + content.

Webster

Marketing sites for every venture, same editing surface, Git-native.

Quillsly

Content pipelines per venture; shared voice patterns across the studio.

Centerline

Portfolio-level cashflow; drill to any venture. Runs quiet.

OODA

Recon loops per venture. Studio-level signal board.

Prospector · built-in

Opportunity mining at every venture, routed to the right Drive.

We spun up four ventures in a quarter. The old way, we'd have been drowning in procurement. With Merkava, spinning up is free — Merkava already knows what to watch.

VS. THE ALTERNATIVES

How Merkava compares.

vs. a spreadsheet stack

Most studios run on 1 master spreadsheet + 1 deck template + 1 drive folder per venture. Works until it does not. Merkava's portfolio view is actually live — MRR, burn, signals, attention inbox per venture with a single-click drill-down.

vs. Airtable + Zapier

You can build this in Airtable. It takes 2 to 4 weeks, breaks whenever Zapier re-authenticates, and you still need to build every per-venture dashboard yourself. Merkava ships Merkava.

vs. Notion databases

Notion pages per venture + a master board. Lovely for docs. Weak for live numbers — there is no native Stripe/Xero/Mailchimp roll-up. Merkava reads from your real sources.

QUESTIONS

FAQ.

How do multiple ventures work under one Merkava account?

Each venture is its own scoped row. Every entity (employees, deals, contacts, clients, products) can be tagged to one or more ventures. The Portfolio view rolls up across; per-venture views filter. One operator, many ventures, one workspace.

Does every venture get its own URL and branding?

Venture pages have their own /careers and /k/venture/doc public URLs. Full branded-subdomain per venture (with the same Merkava backend) is on the post-launch roadmap.

What is the ventures cap?

There's no fixed venture cap on the core surface. Most operators run several ventures comfortably; studios running 30+ should email [email protected] to scope a custom configuration. Exec hires and Drive subscriptions bill per-tenant, not per-venture, so cross-venture portfolios don't multiply your bill.

How does Merkava compare to running each venture in its own HubSpot?

Per-venture HubSpot means every CRM insight is siloed. Comparing LTV across your portfolio means exporting each to CSV and merging by hand. Merkava is designed for portfolio rollups from day one — every Drive's view has a per-venture filter and a rolled up default.
