Aventurine

What Aventurine does

Aventurine LLC is a privately held, founder-owned business consulting and coaching firm headquartered in Farmington, Connecticut, operating regionally across the state with a concentration in its home market. Founded by Thom Smith in 2022, the firm serves entrepreneurs and small business owners seeking to scale profitably and prepare for business exit, addressing pain points around scaling, profit optimization, sales performance, marketing effectiveness, and operational efficiency. The client base is horizontal, spanning SMBs across legal services, HVAC, healthcare, video marketing, painting, physical therapy, and staffing, with named clients including Goddy & Donnelly, Wholeness Acupuncture Center, Paul the Painter, CT Video Marketing, Infinite HVAC Solutions, and AEI Staffing.

The firm has no proprietary software, technology platform, or API; value delivery is entirely human-expert-led through founder Thom Smith and collaborator Allison Blackwood. The core service portfolio consists of four offerings: (1) one-on-one Private Consulting, (2) Success Circle small group coaching, (3) Workshops and Events, and (4) the Sales Mastery Accelerator, a six-week in-person sales training course priced at $497 per person and delivered at the BristolWORKS! Training Center in Bristol, CT. A free 'Business Boosting Hacks' eBook lead magnet and a content blog round out the marketing infrastructure.

Revenue mechanics mix professional services fees (private consulting, quote-based and not publicly disclosed), subscription/recurring group coaching (Success Circle), and one-time paid workshops and the Sales Mastery Accelerator course (Stripe-processed at $497). Go-to-market is sales-led through website inquiry, free consultations, content marketing, organic social (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn), email newsletter, client referrals, and five Connecticut chamber of commerce memberships. The firm is bootstrapped with no disclosed institutional funding, no parent company, and no subsidiaries.
