Member Spotlight: Ian & Ante – Closing Better Deals, Powered by the Ohana Network

At the Ohana Network—a collective of Office Evolution and Venture X locations—we celebrate members who bring bold ideas and real-world impact to the coworking community. This month, we’re proud to spotlight Ian, founder of Ante, and a member of Venture X, who is thriving through the power of our shared network.

Meet Ian and Ante

Business Name: Ante
Industry: Management Consulting (Negotiation Training & Deal Advisory)
Home Location: Venture X – Denver, CO
Ohana Access: 12 coworking spaces across the Denver Metro Area

Ante is a boutique consulting firm that helps companies close better deals—whether they’re selling, sourcing, or navigating M&A. With deep operational expertise and negotiation science at the core, Ian and his team deliver custom training and strategic advisory for high-stakes, complex negotiations.

“We aren’t career consultants—we’re operators who’ve sat in the chair. That’s what makes our approach real and results-driven.”

Why Venture X—and the Ohana Network

Ian chose Venture X for its clean design, professional energy, and flexibility—an ideal home base for his hybrid team. But with Ohana Network access, he’s able to work, meet, and collaborate from any of the 12 locations across the Denver area.

“The space is a natural fit for our team and our clients. And being part of the Ohana Network gives us the flexibility to stay productive and connected no matter where we are in the city.”

A Community that Sharpens Strategy

Ante’s work is rooted in complex problem-solving, so the diversity and collaboration found in a coworking environment are key.

“We solve high-stakes problems that benefit from diverse thinking. The community here challenges us, sparks new ideas, and helps us stay relevant in a fast-changing world.”

From informal brainstorms to connections with other driven professionals, the Ohana Network has become more than a workspace—it’s a strategic advantage.

What’s Ahead for Ante

Ante is preparing to scale in a big way:

• Expanding training programs for sales, sourcing, and M&A teams

• Launching a digital training platform to support global teams

• Continuing to advise on sell-side M&A deals for growth-focused businesses

Long-term, Ian’s goal is to establish Ante as the go-to partner for elite negotiation strategy—where behavioral science meets business impact.

Ian’s Advice for Other Professionals

“Don’t just rent a desk—find a place that sharpens you. The right coworking space isn’t just about convenience; it’s about energy, feedback, and momentum.”

We’re proud to support Ian and Ante as part of the Ohana Network—a growing community of professionals who work smarter, grow faster, and stay connected across the Denver area. Whether you’re at Venture X or Office Evolution or exploring all 12 locations, you’re part of something bigger when you’re part of the Ohana Network.
