The Challenges
Standing Out in a Crowded Market
Companyon Ventures operates in a highly competitive market, where many venture capital firms make similar claims. Ideometry’s challenge was to craft a brand identity and messaging that would help Companyon stand out as a modern, results-driven solution that truly delivers on its promises.
Engaging a Technical Audience
Companyon’s audience consists of technical experts in the B2B software industry. To effectively connect with this audience, Ideometry needed to craft precise, no-fluff, no-nonsense messaging that resonated with founders and investors.
Ensuring Self-Sufficiency for the Client
Ideometry was tasked with developing an array of turnkey collateral for Companyon to use in presentations and sales meetings—as well as providing customizable templates and guidelines that any Companyon team member could easily use to create impactful, branded presentations in-house without relying on experts or other agencies.



The Approach
A Get-Things-Done Aesthetic
Through collaborative workshops and extensive research, Ideometry gained a deep understanding of Companyon’s identity, values, and target audience—informing the creation of a versatile brand system that embodied the scrappy, visionary spirit of innovative software startups.
A Retro-Futuristic Visual Identity
Embracing the spirit of the 90s tech era, Ideometry designed a visual brand that paid homage to the pioneers of technology while projecting a future-forward mindset. The combination of retro elements and modern minimalism struck a balance that resonated with Companyon Ventures’ audience of today’s tech innovators.


Outcome-Focused Messaging
Ideometry created new messaging guidelines centered around real-world outcomes and achievements. By highlighting success stories and the impact of Companyon’s strategic investments—backed by ongoing founder support—we demonstrated how Companyon drives growth and shapes the future of B2B software startups.
Modern-Classic Custom Icons and Imagery
Ideometry created a bold logo, attention-grabbing color palette, and eye-catching design elements, as well as custom illustrations and iconography, for Companyon’s website and marketing collateral. These were delivered along with branding guidelines and templates to ensure ease-of-use and consistency across platforms and materials.
Custom illustrations and icons were designed based on the classic, minimal line icons from the Mac OS System 1—designed to be clean but visually interesting, symbolizing how far technology has come while still supporting the future-forward Companyon brand.
A Bold, Easy-to-Manage Website
Ideometry translated Companyon’s refreshed brand identity into an online experience with updated branding, intuitive navigation, and copy with a little bit of attitude. Developed in WordPress for flexibility, the new website was designed to be engaging on the frontend and easy-to-manage on the backend, with built-in scalability for future growth.

The Impact
Companyon Ventures’ rebranding, refreshed messaging, and website overhaul transformed their brand from the ground up.
This creative transformation resulted in more organic leads, as well as a better place to send prospective deal flow—which also increased, allowing Companyon to be more selective with their investments. In addition to loving the new brand and website, they appreciated the ability to remain self-sufficient when creating presentations and sales materials on the fly, using Ideometry’s customizable templates to craft their own collateral as needed.
With a memorable brand identity, distinctive voice, and a retro-modern website, Companyon Ventures has strengthened its position as a leading player in the early-stage VC space.
