Venture studio · Canberra, Australia
A studio for the practical end of ambition.
Zenova Ventures works with businesses and individuals to research opportunities, build products and automations, and untangle the operational problems that get in the way — grounded in real financial-services and cybersecurity experience, run out of Canberra.
What we do
We take on problems worth solving, and see them through.
- 01
Work out what’s worth doing
Before building anything, we do the research — the market, the competition, the regulations, the real customer need. We’re comfortable with evidence and unafraid of inconvenient answers. It’s a lot cheaper to find out early.
- 02
Build the thing
We design and ship practical products and automations — the useful, unglamorous kind that remove friction and give people their hours back. Pragmatic over clever, shipped over perfect.
- 03
Handle the hard, regulated corners
A background in financial services and cybersecurity means we’re at home where the stakes, the rules, and the scrutiny are high — the places where getting the details wrong gets expensive.
Currently
What we’re building right now.
We’d rather show than tell. Here’s what’s live right now — with more on the way.

Get Site Ready (GSR)
Gets Australian tradies site-ready in minutes — 750+ WHS safety documents (SWMS, JSAs, toolbox talks, SOPs) pre-filled and mapped to the exact regulation clauses and AS/NZS standards. The website, the document engine, and the system behind it — built end-to-end.

About
Founder-led, and deliberately small.
Zenova Ventures is run by Rohan D — a Canberra-based operator and former licensed financial adviser, with hands-on experience across financial services and cybersecurity. The work is kept deliberately small-scale: a few projects at a time, which means the person you email is the person doing the work, not an account manager handing it down.
We care about getting the details right, saying what we actually think, and building things that still hold up after the invoice is paid.
Precise. Pragmatic. Straight with you.
