One Web Team for an Entire Venture Portfolio

Our client is a large venture capital firm, roughly $2B under management, investing in deep-tech and life science companies. Those startups are brilliant at science and thin on web operations: none can justify an in-house web team, yet each needs a credible site for fundraising, recruiting, and enterprise sales, on different stacks at different stages of maturity. For the firm, that meant a different freelancer or agency per company: inconsistent quality, repeated onboarding, and nobody accountable when something broke.

We have been the firm's web team since 2022. What started with the firm's own site grew into a standing program across the portfolio, run as one managed web fleet: shared intake, shared hosting infrastructure, and a dedicated pod of engineers who know every property. Most requests are small and fast, with the typical ticket under an hour. The same team that ships a 470-hour rebuild also swaps a headshot in 20 minutes.

• Design and build: full site builds and redesigns from Figma to production, including new brands, rebrands, and page-level rebuilds
• Content operations: press releases, media coverage, and team and portfolio updates, often same-day
• Maintenance and security: core, plugin, and theme upgrades, vulnerability patching, QA, and uptime care across every site
• Growth work: technical SEO audits and action plans, analytics and tag management, HubSpot administration, and accessibility remediation
• Corporate-event support: new brand sites, redirects, and portfolio page updates when companies merge, exit, or rebrand
• The firm's own site: a homepage rebuilt from the firm's design files and a custom newsroom (220+ hours) that merges press releases and media coverage into one publishing operation
• A ground-up rebuild for an energy storage company: about 470 hours over two quarters, with custom templates, careers and people pages, animation, and accessibility remediation
• A merger handled end to end: when two portfolio companies recombined under a new brand, we built the new site and bridged both legacy properties with no gap in presence

Work surges when a company needs a build (one year peaked near 950 hours across two ground-up rebuilds) and settles into efficient steady-state care after, without anyone renegotiating anything. New portfolio companies onboard in days because the infrastructure, the process, and the team are already in place. One firm. Eighteen sites. Four years. Zero procurement cycles.
