About
Stickman Ventures, Ltd. was founded in 2007 to take ideas and turn them into realities beyond Silicon Valley. We create new technology when needed, we apply existing technology to untapped niche markets, and we strive to take you to a place you've never been before.
Some of our ideas are simple, some complex, and others ecologically friendly. We can provide knowledge, we can provide funding, and we can provide missing parts to the never ending puzzle that is your business. We like what we do, and we have fun while we do it.
Partners
The people behind the ideas. They are not robots.
Justin Ribeiro
Justin has worked with a number of different firms, from large companies such as AT&T to small boutique startups like Chez Jane. He was featured in an NHK: Japan documentary on the new wave of advertising after producing a series of television ads for Toyota and Current TV.
You can find him behind the scenes cruching numbers or code, exploring new ideas, operating as a hired gun inside your company, or making the sales pitch and giving the big presenation.
Justin holds a Master in Business Administration (MBA) from the University of San Francisco, and a Bachelor of Art (BA) from Seattle University in Business Administration.
Gareth Coen
Gareth is a testament to the flexibility of the Irish workforce. He has sold his soul in a global Investment Banking firm, working in both London and Dublin. He then reclaimed it slightly by using his skills to help out a couple of Non Profits upon his arrival in San Francisco. Still trading a loss on the 'soul-scale' he has decided to just deal with it, and now pursues innovative ideas that will actual make a difference to the world at large - not just giving geeks yet another distraction. Honest.
You can find him drinking coffee, sorry 'brainstorming', getting in some much needed practice on the golf course, or actually doing something productive like crunching numbers, creating marketing plans or turning good ideas into good ideas that might actually turn a profit. Or if you're a literal kind of person, you can find him using FireEagle.
Gareth holds a MBA in Entrepreneurship & Marketing from the University of San Francisco, and a BA(Hons) in International Finance & Capital Market studies from the University of Brighton, UK.
James L. Ribeiro
James has worked with a number of different firms in the law and technology industries. His skills in research, data mining, and surveying have been invaluable to his clients; his knowledge of the justice system and technology are a welcome combination.
You can find him behind the scenes mining large datasets, writing content, doing quality assurance testing and reading new business plans.
James holds a Bachelor of Art (BA) from California State University, Stanislaus in Criminal Justice.

Sending Business Plans
We recommend that before you send us your plan to take over the world, that you at least open up the lines of communication first. Send us an email, give us a call, walk up and introduce yourself at an event.
Good conversation and a lack of bull shit while we talk will score points with us.
