Where Ventura is going.
A real roadmap, in public, with the caveats attached. Dates are intentions, not commitments — we are a small team and we ship in the order the firms in early access need things, which is not always the order we planned.
- The core loop
Meeting capture, candidate commit, Top 2, referral cadence, pursuits, weekly review. The six steps on the Workflows page, shipped and in daily use.
- Give-first ledger
Intros and assists tracked per relationship, so reciprocity is visible instead of remembered.
- Email & calendar metadata sync
Last-touch detection from the tools the firm already uses. Metadata only — bodies are never stored.
- Friday review assembly
Moved / stalled / protected, assembled automatically before the partner meeting.
- Speaker-attributed meeting extraction
Candidates that know who said what — so the suggested owner is the person who took it on in the room.
- Role-based access
Partner, staff, and admin permission levels. Listed here, not on the Security page, because it hasn't shipped yet.
- Accounting Starter Pack
Pre-built cadences, engagement-health rules, and review templates for CAS and advisory accounting firms.
- Request-access form
A four-field form instead of a mailto link. You noticed. So did we.
- Self-serve firm signup
Create a firm, connect email and calendar, and start the loop without talking to us first.
- Multi-meeting series context
Extraction that remembers the last quarterly review when it reads this one.
- GL & billing integrations
WIP and scope signals pulled from the ledger instead of entered by hand.
- Firm benchmarks
How your cadence health and follow-through compare to firms your shape. Aggregated, never identifiable.
Now is shipped and in use by early-access firms. Next is committed and in progress. Later is direction, not promise — items move up when firms in early access pull them up.
Five principles that decide what ships.
Every roadmap argument inside Ventura ends at one of these. If a feature can't survive them, it doesn't ship, no matter how often it's requested.
Two priorities, one queue, one weekly review. The product's value is in what it refuses to let you do. Features that add flexibility get the hardest scrutiny.
AI drafts candidates, suggests owners, assembles reviews. It never commits work, sends a message, or makes a decision. Every seat at the table is human.
Anything that would put unowned, undated work into the firm — imports, integrations, automations — gets redesigned until it can't.
Not the sprint, not the quarter, not real-time. Features are designed around the Monday-to-Friday loop because that's the rhythm firms actually keep.
Or it doesn't ship. Five modules today; the bar for a sixth is that the loop is impossible without it.
What we will not build.
A roadmap is also a list of refusals. Here are ours, in writing, so you can hold us to them.
If you need to manage a kitchen renovation, there are excellent tools for that. Ventura has one workflow — the loop — and boards would be a way to escape it.
No auto-sent emails, no auto-created tasks, no agent doing your follow-up for you. The moment the system acts without you, you stop trusting what's in it.
Your email works. We read metadata to keep last-touch honest, and that's the whole relationship.
Nothing in Ventura competes for your attention between sessions. The product wants five minutes in the morning and an hour on Friday.
The most requested feature in early access. The answer is no, and the day we say yes, the product has failed.
What this roadmap is worth.
We are a small team. Items in Next have slipped a quarter before and may again. Items in Laterexist because firms asked for them, not because they're scheduled.
What we can promise: the no-list above is durable, the loop ships before anything decorative, and when something slips, the firms in early access hear it from us first — with the new date, not a euphemism.
