Hello, I’m Chairman,
Steven “SJ” Maranville, Ph.D.

Welcome to Maranville Enterprises—The Venture Creation Corporation!

Graduating with an MBA, I knew two things about myself:

 

1. I was consumed by a love for the process of learning.

2. I thrived on the competitiveness of business.

So, I merged those two driving desires into the founding of Maranville Enterprises—The Venture Creation Corporation through which I began advising entrepreneurs about how to scale-up the Strategic IQ of their unicorn-bound ventures.

Hello, I’m Chairman, Steven “SJ” Maranville, Ph.D.

It’s a venture with a $1 billion valuation.

The mantra at Maranville Enterprises is to Venture With Vision! Naturally, the entrepreneurs who team-up with Maranville Enterprises lead by that standard. Even if not a unicorn … yet, that is the ultimate goal! That’s why I’m known as the Startup Unicorn Trainer

Maranville, Steven

Venture With Vision!

Adaptation and Transformation

Just like its clients, over the years, Maranville Enterprises has adapted and transformed through evolutionary and revolutionary means.

Today, Maranville Enterprises educates, equips, and empowers entrepreneurs in two ways:

I’m the Guide By The Entrepreneur’s Side. Scaling-up the Strategic IQ of unicorn-bound ventures, I educate Founders and CEOs on how to gain and sustain Intelligence Advantage. As a Strategic Advisor, I guide entrepreneurs through the foggy wilderness of starting and scaling their ventures, so they Venture With Vision.

I scale the stage at entrepreneur events. As a main-stage evangelist, I inspire entrepreneurs to Venture With Vision. Inspirational and educational, these presentations deliver Hard-core, real-world entrepreneurial lessons earned through years of advising unicorn-bound ventures in the most pressure-packed boardrooms.

Here’s Why I Venture With Vision …

Born with eyesight, I had the DNA that would ultimately cause me to lose that eyesight. By the time I was seven years old, I was legally blind.  And, into adulthood, I was totally blind. This loss of sight resulted in a traumatic fear of change. Realizing that one of the only true certainties in life is change, it was imperative for me to conquer that fear. Consequently, I embarked on a life-long study of change.
I now use these lessons about change to educate entrepreneurs and their unicorn-bound ventures on how to be adaptive and transformational.

Venture With Vision!

Continuous Learning about Organizational Learning

I’ve always been fascinated by businesses and how they learn, adapt, and transform. It should, then, be no surprise that I earned a Ph.D. in Business Administration to enrich my expertise in those areas.
The fundamental question that has guided my research is “Why do some ventures succeed, while others fail?”
I answer this question by studying ventures through the lens of Organizational Learning.
My research and experience confirm that those ventures learning the most effectively and the fastest regarding their strategic issue are those that will gain and sustain competitive advantage.
