Caleb and Jonathan’s story began more than 20 years ago. 

They met in their early twenties—two young men drawn together by a foundation of faith and a shared desire to serve others while building something that mattered. What began as a meaningful connection grew into a lasting friendship built on trust, purpose, and a commitment to lead with integrity.

Over the years, they’ve grown together—through personal milestones, seasons of leadership, and the gritty, soul-shaping work of building ventures that serve people. Their bond was established not just through shared success, but through setbacks, disappointments, and a deep belief that how you build matters as much as what you build.

Caleb, now CEO of Venatrust, embodies a rare combination of entrepreneurial grit and unwavering commitment to those he leads. With experience in both tech startups and ministry leadership, he’s carried weight in complex spaces where vision must meet execution. Through seasons of uncertainty and growth, Caleb has remained faithful—steadfast, present, and willing to do the hard work. His grounded leadership shapes the culture at Venatrust.

Jonathan, Co-founder and President, brings a builder’s mindset and a servant’s heart. His diverse experience spans athletics, technology, and mission-driven work, leading teams and scaling startups with both grit and grace. From mentoring youth in sports and nonprofits to driving operational excellence in startups, Jonathan balances big-picture thinking with personal connection. His commitment to integrity has helped shape Venatrust from the start.

Their journey hasn’t always followed a straight path, and their roles have evolved as they’ve grown together. Their partnership has been tested and sharpened by real-world challenges - moments when nothing seemed clear and they had to wrestle with tough decisions, often feeling uncertain about the way forward. Through it all, their shared faith has become their anchor, keeping them grounded and steady. It is a deep trust in something greater that has given them the courage to keep going, to learn from every setback, and to lean on each other when the path wasn’t clear. Their faith didn’t just guide their decisions - it became the foundation of their unbreakable bond and enduring strength.

Venatrust is the living result of their journey. It’s more than a tech company - it’s a reflection of who they are: founders who build with care, lead with conviction, and believe that trust isn’t just a feature but the foundation of everything they do.
