Body | Hello everyone, Last post was taken down due to a false DMCA takedown request (for copyright infringement) so re-posting to combat these companies. So I have been recently applying for jobs and got an offer from Venture 100. Ever since a bad experience with a company called The Hive Collective in Glasgow back in 2018, I have been very cautious about job offerings. Especially ones that come too easy, from companies with minimal information available on them. Initially I felt skeptical when I researched into Venture 100, but sat through a small 10 minute(ish) interview today with their Managing Director Matthew Vella. After the interview, I saw some similarities in how Matthew Vella not only presenting himself, but his questions, and avoidance of my own questions with that of Matthew Stewart. Matthew Stewart owns and operates (currently) Omada Corp aka OGC Holdings, previously known as The Hive Collective. Turns out Matthew Stewart and Matthew Vella are connected on LinkedIN, and not only that, Matthew Vella recommends Matthew Stewart for various skills. How does NXT Wave fit in? I found a photograph (thanks to an Edinburgh Live article) with Matthew Vella and NXT Wave's owner (and a bunch of other people). It seems all these companies are linked and have the same business model of using people's labour and time for minimal (if any) ROI for the individual. Common claims these companies make: · Base salary per year in adverts · Training schemes · Uncapped earning potential · Running your own team in a matter on months/up to a year My experience is that the reality is much different, usually only commissioned based work (in terms of my experience with The Hive Collective). I have compiled a source list where I found all the connecting information. TLDR; consider all the information available when engaging with Venture 100. Due to its connection to companies like The Hive Collective, Omada Corp, NXT Wave. Please also avoid the use of slander, or anything that can be deemed defamation in the comments. We need to keep this post up and avoid getting silenced by any legal tricks these companies usually employ.
