About Blueprint Vision Ventures
Blueprint Vision Ventures, Inc. was created to build in areas where the need is clear but the structure is still taking shape.

Charon Collier is a thanatologist, entrepreneur, program developer, and death doula whose work focuses on end-of-life care, professional development, community-based support, and the thoughtful use of technology.
How We Build
BVV develops proprietary methods and tools that help professionals define their role, build their practice, and strengthen how they work across professional and community settings.
BVV’s proprietary structured method for connecting professional identity, practice development, and professional integration across family, organizational, and community settings.
A professional identity tool that helps death doulas identify and articulate the strengths, values, and qualities that shape how they serve.
From Idea to Practice
BVV develops ideas across four connected areas.
New concepts, brands, and business models developed around emerging opportunities and unmet needs.
Programs and resources that support continued learning, role development, and readiness for work across professional and community settings.
Digital infrastructure designed to support visibility, coordination, education, communication, and professional workflows.
Communities, resources, tools, relationships, and platforms that allow the work to continue beyond a single program or service.
Death Tech + End-of-Life Innovation
Technology has reshaped nearly every part of life. The end of life and death should benefit from that progress without losing the human care at its center.
BVV explores how technology, professional practice, community-based support, and new service models can work together to improve how people and families experience serious illness, dying, death, grief, and remembrance.
BVV is interested in tools and systems that support access, coordination, visibility, education, continuity, and connection across end-of-life work.
Human care remains central. Technology should make it easier to support it.
The BVV Ecosystem
This work serves death doulas, end-of-life professionals, families, healthcare systems, and community organizations. Together, it supports professional development, clearer coordination, access to information, and ways for people and organizations to find and work with the right professionals.
