About me
Share a short bio about yourself
I’m Venessa Darroll. I help businesses remove friction from their systems and build tech they can rely on.

My background is in technical business analysis, operations, and data — which means I live comfortably at the intersection of “how work actually happens” and “what the tools are doing behind the scenes.” I focus on practical tech and believe tech confidence comes from clarity and a solid approach that holds up over time.
What city & country do you live in?
Auckland, New Zealand

Give a brief description of what your company does?
AutoM8te helps businesses remove friction from their systems and build tech they can rely on.

We work across systems, data, and automation to bring clarity to how work flows through the business and how tools support it behind the scenes. Our focus is practical, outcome-led tech — from assessment and strategy through to implementation, automation, reporting, and enablement.

At its core, AutoM8te is about giving businesses confidence in their tech by applying a clear, solid approach that holds up as the business grows.
What products/services do you sell?
Tech assessments & check-ups
Short, focused reviews that show where your current tools and ways of working are slowing things down — and what’s actually worth fixing (and what can be left alone).

Systems & workflow design
We help you design simple, practical ways of working so your tools support how the business really runs day to day, not how software manuals assume it should.

Setup & connection of tools
Hands-on help setting things up properly and getting your tools to talk to each other, so information flows smoothly and manual work is reduced.

Data & reporting
We organise and connect your information so you can clearly see what’s going on in the business — with reports and dashboards that are easy to understand and actually useful.

Ongoing guidance & support
Practical, ongoing support to help you make confident tech decisions, keep things running smoothly, and avoid drifting back into workarounds and friction.

Tech partnership (limited availability)
Ongoing support for a small number of clients who want a trusted partner to look after the bigger tech picture — reducing friction, guiding decisions, and keeping systems reliable as the business grows.

How to Tech Simply (course)
A clear, structured course that helps business owners understand their tech, make better decisions, and stop revisiting the same questions over and over.
Support
What is your biggest goal for personal and professional improvement or growth?
In 2026 I want to secure consistent ongoing income - currently its too sporadic and inconsistent.
What is your biggest challenges that you’d like to overcome in the hivemind?
Deciding on the best marketing strategy for my business so that I can have a consistent flow of income. I think my market is too broad at the moment but I', to scared to tighten it in case it affects income flow.
How can you help others in the community?
I’d love to help the community with practical tech. If you’re stuck on an automation, experiencing tech friction you can’t quite resolve, or exploring a collaboration with a hands-on tech partner, feel free to reach out.
