VantaFive is a privately held 📝Venture Studio based in 📝San Diego, CA, co-founded in 2024 by 📝John Ghiorso and Garret Caudle. VantaFive specializes in launching and scaling marketing agencies across diverse verticals, with the stated aim of creating a new agency each quarter through standardized processes and AI-powered tools. The studio applies a model that compresses the traditional multi-year agency-building cycle into a matter of months by providing operational infrastructure, leadership placement, and go-to-market strategies. Its projects include Influent Social, a LinkedIn-focused agency, as well as initiatives in AI-driven outbound email and social commerce services such as 📝Tiktok Shop. Ghiorso, formerly founder and CEO of 📝Orca Pacific, leads the company as CEO alongside Caudle, whose prior work includes Influent. The studio’s approach emphasizes reusing repeatable systems and platforms to address common agency challenges, positioning itself as a scalable solution to the "cold start" problem for founders. Its stated ambition is to launch five agencies within its first two years of operation.
