Mission Clarity for Early-Stage Venture Builders

For builders who feel called to build—but want clarity on
how faith and business work together, and what to do next.

Many early-stage builders don’t struggle
because they lack ideas, effort, or motivation.
They struggle because they lack clarity.

You might recognise this if:

  • You have ideas, but no clear direction

  • Faith feels personal, while business decisions feel separate

  • Every option feels possible—so nothing moves forward

  • You’re busy, but unsure you’re building the right thing

The issue isn’t motivation. It’s clarity.

The Venture Builder Series exists to help early-stage builders clarify their mission and understand how faith and venture-building belong to the same calling.

Not as a faith-based label. Not as Christian branding.
But as a practical way of making real decisions.

Why This Work Matters

Many builders don’t need more motivation.
They need someone who understands the tension they’re living in.

The Venture Builder Series was shaped by years of walking alongside early-stage builders who are trying to build responsibly—without splitting faith from real business decisions.

In the short video below, Hannah shares why this work exists and what clarity makes possible.

What You’ll Gain

The Venture Builder Series is designed to help early-stage builders move from confusion to clarity, and from clarity to action—without pressure or false urgency.

Participants don’t just learn ideas.
They learn how to make decisions.

Expected Outcomes

Through the series, builders gain clarity on:

  • The mission behind their venture—not just the idea

  • Who they are genuinely responsible for serving

  • How faith informs real business decisions

  • What to pursue next—and what to walk away from

This clarity creates confidence—not hype.

Before scaling, before fundraising, before committing more time or money—clarity matters.

That’s where the Venture Builder Series begins.

What Clarity Makes Possible

Before VBS

An idea. Passion. Unclear path forward.
Uncertain about how mission fits with revenue.
Hopeful but scattered.
Building alone.
Business as transactions.

After VBS

A clearer, more structured direction for your venture
Alignment between values and revenue, supported by the Redemptive Business Canvas™.
Increased focus and confidence about next steps
Supported by a cohort and experienced coaching
Business understood as a way to serve people and contribute meaningfully

If clarity is what you need right now, the Venture Builder Series may be your next step.

What builders say after the Canvas

“It changed the way that I move forward from that point because I don’t think we realize how badly we need a framework, as Christian entrepreneurs or not. It really helps to have someone walking you through the process of thinking this through, and this course was really, really helpful that way.”

Alexandra Ermel
Redemptive Canvas user

“I found myself in deep reflection about my gifts, skills, perspective, perception and reality of the beauty industry and why I started in the first place. The flow of the Canvas is perfect! it guides you effectively, making you account for every part of your idea.”

Ifeoma Nwabuikwu
Redemptive Canvas user

“ I’ve been in practice as a leadership coach for seven full years. This last year has been a significant abundance of goodness. I want to say a lot of that has to do with using this tool, Redemptive Business Canvas™ and putting it as part of our practice.”
