- “Because Small Brands Deserve Loud Stories Too”
Sometimes, a great idea comes from being priced out.
That’s what happened to Godwin when she tried to share her own brand story through mainstream media — and was quoted six figures. It didn’t make sense. Why should small brands, just starting out, be shut out of the storytelling space simply because they can’t afford it?
That frustration became the seed for Venture Stori — a platform created to give every brand, no matter the size, a place to tell its story.
The name says it all. Venture Stori is about telling the stories of ventures — not just the glossy, investor-backed ones, but the everyday businesses trying to make a difference. A baker launching her first shop. A tech founder landing their first 10 customers. A designer finally hitting a one-year milestone. Godwin believes these stories matter. And people deserve to see them.
From the beginning, she didn’t design Venture Stori to impress to empower. It helps small brands take what we often share casually — in WhatsApp chats or DMs — and turns them into real, structured stories. It captures the emotion, the milestones, the growth, and the grit, and puts it all in writing. For many of these founders, it’s the first time they’ve seen their journey documented in a way that feels honest and important.
But this is just the starting point.
Godwin is building a full ecosystem around storytelling. She’s growing a team of writers, interviewers, editors, and salespeople who all share one goal: helping brands feel seen. And she’s not stopping at writing. Venture Stori is already laying the groundwork for podcasts and video documentaries—rich formats that bring brand stories to life in more immersive ways.
There’s also a bigger vision: global reach. Venture Stori might have started in Africa, but the goal is to scale across continents, giving brands in North America and beyond the same kind of access. For Godwin, storytelling should be borderless. And while growth is the goal, she’s clear we won’t sacrifice originality and integrity in the process.
Within the team, she’s building a culture that balances creativity with results. She encourages writers to experiment — to push language, tone, and voice — but there’s still a clear emphasis on structure, timelines, and quality. It’s a space where she allows people to create, but also holds them accountable. Godwin describes Venture Stori as “the one capturing everyone at a party” — always observing, always documenting, always ready to spotlight something meaningful.
At the core of it all is a simple belief: every story matters. Big or small. Loud or quiet. Perfect or messy. What people are building deserves celebration, not just for marketing, but for memory.
And if Godwin gets her way, no brand will ever feel invisible again.
