Coverage questions
How Venturer grows.
Which cities does Venturer currently cover?
Venturer currently publishes guides for Madison, WI and DeForest, WI. Coverage will expand as additional communities have enough useful, current public listings.
Why are there only a few city guides?
Venturer favors useful local coverage over creating large numbers of thin pages. A city guide is published only when it is connected to real discovery inventory and can help someone make a decision.
What is inside a Venturer city guide?
Each guide collects current public events near the area, along with the local deals, recreational leagues, and organizations behind them, with the dates and practical details needed to decide what fits.
How does a new area get a Venturer guide?
An area becomes a guide once enough local organizations publish current public listings there. Organizations can help an emerging area qualify by publishing accurate events, deals, and recreational leagues.
