What Aventi Enterprises does

Aventi Enterprises, LLC is a privately held professional services firm headquartered at 700 Taylor Rd., Ste. 210, Columbus, Ohio, founded circa 2019–2020. The company provides strategic consulting, training, and support services that help small and mid-sized businesses pursue and win government and corporate contracts. Core service offerings include Bid Search (vetted contract opportunity identification), a Proposal Toolkit (positioning and capability statement development), Contract Growth Management (go/no-go evaluation and repeatable pipeline building), and Certifications guidance (MBE, WBE, DBE designations). The firm is dual-certified as a Women Business Enterprise and Minority Business Enterprise at both Ohio state and national (WBENC, NMSDC) levels.

Aventi monetizes through multiple professional-services revenue streams: project-based and hourly consulting engagements, instructor-led workshops (Contract Ready Workshop), monthly free webinars that feed the funnel, paid group coaching cohorts (Contract Success Lab at $795 per enrollment), self-paced online courses via the Aventi Academy on Thinkific, and ancillary facility rentals of its training room ($350 for 4 hours) and conference room ($40/hour). The TechX program, co-delivered with Rev1 Ventures, is fully subsidized and does not contribute direct revenue but functions as ecosystem and pipeline development. The go-to-market motion is sales-led, targeting SMBs in the "$250K–$5M revenue messy middle," with a particular emphasis on women and minority entrepreneurs navigating set-aside and supplier diversity contracting programs.

Operationally, Aventi serves clients across the Midwest and Southeast US, has delivered 20,130+ consulting hours, and reports client outcomes of $9M+ in secured capital and contracts and $72M+ in client-generated revenues across 500+ businesses. Distribution relies on direct outreach, content marketing (blog, newsletter), monthly Zoom webinars, social media (LinkedIn, Facebook, YouTube), and referral partnerships with NAWBO Columbus, WBEC Ohio, Columbus Chamber of Commerce, First Merchants Bank, and Columbus City Schools. Headcount is 1–10 with no external funding rounds disclosed; the company is founder- and management-owned, led by Director of Consulting Deonna Barnett and Senior Business Consulting of Venture Development De'Lona Moultrie.
