About Venn Strategies

Welcome to
Venn Strategies

Venn Strategies is a nationally recognized, full-service government relations and public affairs firm. Our track record of success is a function of our broad array of working relationships, our strategic expertise and our impeccable reputation across the policy and political spectrum.

Named as one of the fastest-growing private companies in America by Inc. Magazine, Venn offers its clients a wide range of deliverables focused on advocacy, issue management, coalition management and strategic advisory services. Specializing in critical infrastructure, health, oversight, and tax, trade & finance services to name a few, our firm strikes a critical balance, providing the depth and breadth of a major political powerhouse, combined with the personal attention and engagement that only a principal-driven boutique can offer.

As top political strategists, policy analysts, and communications experts, our principals and staff—comprised of former top aides of the White House, Congress, State Houses, renowned advocacy groups, and Fortune 500 corporations—are respected and recognized as leaders in our fields. Led by one of 2023’s Most Influential People in Policy, per the Washingtonian, Stephanie Silverman and Venn’s expertise gives us the ability to offer our clients a clear window into the workings of Washington, as well as the proper tools to effectively navigate this critical environment and define a path to victory.

Our Practice Areas

At Venn, we constantly endeavor to expand our advocacy and never limit our scope of work. Most of our current client work, however, can be categorized in to four main practice areas – Health, Tax, Trade & Finance Services, Critical Infrastructure and Oversight & Investigations. Each requiring their own unique insights and specific approaches, our specialties cover impactful fields and complex issue areas.

Health

Each component of our country’s health care system presents remarkable opportunities to improve and extend human health. Venn’s mission is to work with our clients – in life sciences companies, provider organizations, patient advocacy platforms, medical device innovators, and others -- to navigate the dynamic political and regulatory climate to maximize these opportunities.

Tax, Trade, & Finance

The power of the federal government to affect both domestic and international flows of capital is vast. It stems from a complex interplay between the Executive Branch, Congress, multilateral and bilateral pacts, and industry.

Critical Infrastructure

Venn Strategies' Critical Infrastructure practice works hand-in-hand with clients to engage key stakeholders and government officials to advance policies, regulations, programs and funding that support the development of efficient, cost-effective, secure and sustainable technologies and infrastructures.

Oversight & Investigations

Congressional and Executive Branch oversight and investigations activities that pose significant, reputational, and other risk to individuals and organizations. Our clients need to be prepared not only to respond but also to anticipate these activities and given opportunities to inform the work of government oversight officials where appropriate.
