Chris Cochran · Cochran Ventures · Oxford, Mississippi

I build real businesses. One since 2013. Six more since February.

Cochran Ventures is my family's holding company: healthcare, gaming, local services, and software. One company goes back to 2013. I built the rest starting this February. All run lean, for real revenue, out of Oxford, Mississippi. If you own a business, this is what I can do for yours.

Why I do this

A holding company built to grow real businesses.

I come from an entrepreneurial family, and I have been building since college. In 2013, while at Alabama, I turned a good run in a Madden tournament into MaddenTurf, teaching what I knew through YouTube videos, then an eBook I taught myself to build, then a membership website a year later, back when sites like that were still a new idea. It is still profitable today.

It's a pattern people close to me point out: I get to things early. Madden strategy content before YouTube was the obvious platform. Bitcoin in 2017, years before it went mainstream. Now building whole companies with AI, before most people were taking that seriously either.

In February 2026 I started building a lot more, all at once. I don't mean side projects. I mean real companies with real customers: my wife's physical therapy practice, a friend's lawn care business, software for pelvic health clinics and golf clubs.

Each one started small. Each one had to prove itself with real demand before it got more of my time. I use modern tools, including AI, to build and run more than my size should allow. That is the edge here, not headcount, speed. I keep what works. I kill what doesn't.

I do this in the open, in my hometown, with my family watching. If you own a business and you are not sure where the next 12 to 18 months should take it, that is exactly the conversation I want to have.

The build

The progress of it all.

MaddenTurf goes back to 2013. Six more companies since February 2026. This is the log, not a highlight reel. It gets a new line every time something real ships.

2013

2013

I win a Madden tournament at Alabama. People start asking how I got so good, so I start making YouTube videos to teach it, back before YouTube was the obvious place to do that.

2013

I teach myself to build an eBook and publish my first one, going deeper than a video could.

2014

2014

MaddenTurf goes live as a membership website, back when sites like that were still a new idea in competitive gaming.

2023

MaddenTurf's biggest pivot: the primary membership model shifts from yearly to monthly for steadier recurring revenue, while creators keep selling their own guides individually with a revenue share.

Work with Chris

Where does your business need to be in 12 to 18 months?

Maybe you are building toward a sale. Maybe you are buying one. Maybe you just want the machine to run better. I have built and run companies through all three: WYAtherapy with my wife Meg, MaddenTurf, Oxford Lawn Pro, Club Draw, and the rest of this portfolio.

I want to know where you are and where you want to be. Then we find the quick wins you can feel in the first month, before we tackle the big hurdles.

01

The conversation

Call or text. Tell me where you are and where you want to be. No cost, no pitch deck.

02

Quick wins

A short, focused engagement on the highest-leverage fixes. You feel it in the first month. The concrete version is the $999 AI Assessment.

03

The retainer

If it is working, I stay on as your operator. I only take a few seats at a time.

Who this is for

Owners of real businesses who want speed and straight answers.

Not for get-rich-quick, hype tourists, or anyone who wants a deck instead of work.

Is the AI stuff real, or hype?
Look at the timeline above. Every date on it is something that actually shipped.
Why you, and not an agency?
I own and run these companies myself. I feel every result personally. An agency bills hours; I build outcomes.
Will you disappear after launch?
No. The model is a retainer, and I answer my own phone.

About the Cochrans

An entrepreneurial family.

The Cochran family in Oxford, Mississippi

We have always been an entrepreneurial family. My wife Meg and I are raising four kids in Oxford, Mississippi, and most nights the dinner table sounds like a working session.

We live in small business. We live in local. The shop on the square, the service that shows up when it says it will, the practice that actually helps. That is the world Cochran Ventures is built around.

Every venture here is a family bet. Meg runs her own pelvic floor practice. I build and run the rest. Our kids are growing up watching what it looks like to make something from nothing, ship it, and stand behind it.
