Hey, I'm Simon.
I wanted that small & medium-size companies as well can have access to clear, measurable growth opportunities / risks.
And apparently I wasn't the only one...
I started building dashboards for managers.
With a simple goal.
To create powerful, data-driven insights that move the needle.
"I founded UrbanVenture because a CEO shouldn’t have to worry about SQL joins or broken data pipelines. You should simply wake up to the right numbers on your screen. With 20+ successful projects delivered, I act as your fractional data department—senior expertise without the full-time overhead."
— Simon Urban
How I Drive Value for Your Business
With 20+ successfully delivered projects, I provide the high-level expertise of a senior data department without the overhead of a full-time data team. Whether you are running on Microsoft (Azure/PowerBI) or Google Cloud, I build the systems that stay out of your way.
Reliable, Scalable Data Foundation
I build and maintain the 'plumbing' — SQL databases and automated pipelines that ensure your data is clean, secure and where it needs to be.
Insightful Data Analytics & Reporting
I transform raw data into intuitive dashboards. From automated weekly sales reports for your Sales Reps to high-level executive overviews, you get the truth, in real-time.
Actionable Recommendations Powered by AI
I build custom tools that do the heavy lifting for you— e.g. calculating optimal purchase orders to save capital and identifying overstock that needs to be liquidated.
Security & Governance
I ensure GDPR-compliant access rights so every user sees exactly what they need — and nothing they don't.

Why Work With Me?
Forget agency overhead and junior account managers.
When you work with me, you get direct access to the engineer.
I prioritize business results over technical jargon: if it doesn't save you time or make you money, it’s not worth building.
No tech jargon. Just a conversation about your business goals.
