Venture Lab
Building technology products that solve real problems
JDV Ventures develops and deploys technology products from concept to commercial market. Founded on 25+ years of experience in data, technology, and financial services, we specialise in turning complex domains into simple, consumer-first tools.
Our approach
Industries full of jargon and friction are ripe for technology that puts the consumer first.
We identify markets where consumers are confused, overcharged, or underserved — then build technology that fixes it. Rapid prototyping, real user testing, iterative deployment. No vanity metrics, no fundraising theatre. Products that work for the people who use them.
What We Build
Our lab brings together deep domain expertise with modern technology to develop products across multiple sectors simultaneously.
Software Development
Full-stack product development from concept to deployment. Modern web applications, APIs, and mobile-first consumer tools built for scale.
Data Asset Management
Building, curating, and commercialising data assets. Turning raw information into structured, queryable intelligence that drives better decisions.
Data Modelling & Analytics
Designing data architectures that make complex domains navigable. Enrichment pipelines, scoring models, and analytics platforms.
AI Tooling & Deployment
Practical AI applications — not demos. LLM integration, document intelligence, automated extraction, and AI-assisted workflows deployed in production.
Governance & Compliance
Technology solutions for regulated industries. Data governance, audit trails, access control, and compliance automation built into the product from day one.
Sectors
We build where we know the domain.
Multiple products are currently in development across these sectors. Individual product announcements will be made at launch.
Not just commercial
Some things we build because they matter.
The Bomber Command Memorial Register catalogues WW2 crash sites and memorials across the UK — 208 memorials, crew stories, and community contributions. A heritage project built with the same technology, data modelling, and care as our commercial work.
Investment
Investing in software, data, and technology businesses.
Beyond building our own products, JDV Ventures invests in early-stage software, data, and technology companies — particularly where we can add operational value alongside capital. We look for founders solving real problems in markets we understand.
Board & Advisory
Non-executive director and board advisory roles.
Keith serves on the board of savvy navvy, the world's leading boating navigation app, and is available for select non-executive director and advisory board positions in technology and data-driven businesses.
