Venture X is a shared workspace and community that is a blend of boutique hotel and modern office styles with a high level of design that feels professional and welcoming.  Catering to flexible office space with lounge areas, private offices, and many amenities for business to utilize.

Ryan Gagne, the owner of Venture X Marlborough, sat down with the SAUCE to dish the secret ingredients to his Special Sauce! 

Gagne went to college at Bridgewater State University with a degree in finance. Gagne also spent time in the Marines and felt that it taught him a lot about how to “take on any task or problem and solve it… you learn very quickly that there’s no challenge that can’t be accomplished.” After his time in the Marines, Gagne worked in global banking with currency trading for almost 20 years.

Gagne has worked in “just about every type of office environment for small scale offices to large scale trading floors” and many more. Gagne even worked at home for a while, sometimes at his kitchen tables and sometimes in a closed-door office. All these experiences gave Gagne the ability to understand and connect with anyone who seeks office space at Venture X.

He purchased his Venture X location because he wanted to get out of global banking and the strain it put on him with travel. Gagne felt that he just “needed a change.”

A business broker told Gagne about Venture X and he knew if he could just find the right location to open his own and make the change for his life he’d been craving.

Recently, Gagne was honored by the Marlborough Regional Chamber of Commerce as its 2020 “Business Person of the Year.”  Continuously striving for better, Ryan has successfully created business opportunities in every climb and place.
