Bright Station Ventures

Bright Station Ventures (BSV) is the incubator behind all of the Bright Station team's initiatives from eCommerce (Venda - Enterprise level & Powa - SME's) to Search (Locayta) to media publishing (Aigua Media).

The philosophy behind it is that by creating businesses from scratch, the greatest value can be created on invested capital and resource.

This rationale has been applied successfully in previous businesses and is now the blueprint for all future successful endeavours.
