VenTech headquarters in New York.
Venture Techno Industries (VenTech for short) is a large publicly traded company, founded by Jonas Venture, Jr. after leaving Venture Industries.
History
Jonas Venture Jr. founded the company shortly after his departure from Thaddeus S. Venture‘s abdomen. He was able to develop it quickly and successfully, making it worth billions of dollars. VenTech focused mainly on developing cellphones and other consumer technology, most notably the jPhone, jPod and jPad, which are parodies of the real life iPhone, iPod and iPad from Apple. Through these successes, J.J. soon lost interest in the world of Super-science, instead focusing on his business and development of practical technologies.
The company was very successful under Jonas Jr.'s control. After JJ's death, his brother Dr. Thaddeus Venture inherited the business and took over. Dr. Venture fired all the employees and VenTech began focusing on super science again. Upon Venture taking control, VenTech's stocks plummeted almost immediately as the company shifted its focus away from profitable manufacturing and was unable to impress the public and its shareholders.
While Dean was able to mitigate the problem by suggesting that the company resume producing consumer electronics while also devoting a division to scientific research and development, Venture has yet to fully pull the company out of its current financial troubles. As the head of VenTech, the majority of Venture’s scientific research has involved digging through J.J.'s unfinished projects and attempting to pass them off as his own, just as he had done with their father's throughout his entire adult life, only to be met with similar failure.
By Radiant is the Blood of the Baboon Heart, the Helper Pod was developed as part of a strategy to pivot back to making consumer products again after all inventions and super-science failed. Rusty was focused on selling the Helper Pods as he saw it as the last hope of keeping VenTech from financial ruin. However, the Pirate Captain warned that the Helper Pods will sell at a loss and won't prevent VenTech's bankruptcy.
