LeadVenture

What LeadVenture does

LeadVenture is a privately held, multi-brand digital solutions platform headquartered in Wilsonville, Oregon, serving more than 40,000 dealers and over 200 OEMs across ten vertical industries: powersports, marine, RV, trailer, outdoor power equipment, agriculture, heavy equipment, heavy truck, tire and service, and independent auto. The company was formed through the consolidation of acquired brands including Dealer Spike, InteractRV, Net Driven, Frazer (operating since 1985), Dealer Car Search (acquired October 2020), and TCS Technologies, all of which retain their original brand identities while operating under the LeadVenture parent. CEO Tim MacDonald, who succeeded founder Roy W. Olivier in March 2020, leads the company with a workforce of approximately 1,100 employees.

The platform combines dealer-facing products (digital storefronts, digital marketing, digital retailing, dealer management software, and eCatalog solutions) with OEM-facing products (Branded Zones, OEM Marketplace, Dynamic Incentives, and OEM eCatalog Solutions such as the award-winning PartSmart Portal). Technology components include customizable mobile-optimized websites, inventory and lead management systems, 360-degree virtual walkarounds, live chat/text engagement, financing integrations such as Payment Genie with Sheffield Financial, and proprietary branded zones that allow OEMs to maintain brand exclusivity on dealer sites. LeadVenture's State of the Dealer 2026 report draws on behavioral data across 40,000+ dealerships representing over 6.1 million units sold annually, providing a proprietary data asset for benchmarking and thought leadership.

The business model is predominantly subscription-based, with annual billing on quote-based pricing that varies by vertical and solution bundle. Go-to-market combines direct dealer sales through sub-brand websites with channel-driven adoption via OEM preferred-vendor designations (LiuGong, New Holland Construction, UBCO, Solectrac), where OEM mandates accelerate dealer adoption. The company generates revenue across three streams: dealer digital subscriptions, OEM solutions and partnerships, and dealer management software licensing. Integration partnerships (Sheffield Financial for financing, OfferUp for marketplace distribution, IronConnect for DMS interoperability) extend reach without requiring in-house builds. Operating geographies span the US, Canada, and Mexico, with the company actively expanding OEM coverage into adjacent verticals such as electric vehicles and electric tractors.
