Founder · Builder · Since 2013
I'm James Allsopp.
I build internet businesses.
I've been building websites since my teens. Founder of iNet Ventures (est. 2013) and AskZyro. Still building, experimenting and sharing what I've learned along the way.

Why I Build
I never wanted one big company. I wanted lots of interesting ones.
In 2013 I started iNet Ventures with no funding, no network and no plan B — just the conviction that if I could get websites ranked, businesses would pay for it. They did. Thirteen years later that agency has delivered 25,000+ editorial links for agencies around the world.
But I never stopped building. A gaming site became GamerBolt. A curiosity about how teams work became Agile. My frustration with AI tool sprawl became AskZyro. Some make money, some make me happy — the good ones do both.
