PROXY STATEMENT

FOR

SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS


This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of the accompanying proxy on behalf of the Board of Directors of Twentyfour/seven Ventures, Inc. (the “Company”) for use at the Company’s Special Meeting of Shareholders (the “Special Meeting”) to be held on September ___, 2014 at 10:00 a.m., local time, at 132 W. 11th Avenue, Denver, CO 80204, and any adjournments or postponements of the Special Meeting.


This Proxy Statement and the accompanying proxy form are first being mailed to shareholders entitled to vote at the Special Meeting on or about September 5, 2014.  Our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 is available on the SEC website at www.sec.gov.


QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE SPECIAL MEETING


Why am I receiving these materials?


At the Special Meeting, the shareholders will act upon the matters described in the notice of meeting contained in this Proxy Statement.  We sent you this proxy statement and the enclosed proxy card because the Board of Directors of the Company is soliciting your proxy to vote at the Special Meeting.  You are invited to attend the Special Meeting to vote on the proposals described in this proxy statement.  However, you do not need to attend the meeting to vote your shares.  Instead, you may simply complete, sign, and return the enclosed proxy card.


Who is entitled to vote?


Only holders of shares of the Company’s Common Stock outstanding as of the close of business on August 26, 2014 (the “Record Date”) will be entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. Each shareholder is entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock he or she held on the Record Date.




4



Who can attend the Special Meeting?


All shareholders, or individuals holding their duly appointed proxies, may attend the Special Meeting.  Appointing a proxy in response to this solicitation will not affect a shareholder’s right to attend the Special Meeting and to vote in person.  Please note that if you

hold your shares in “street name” (in other words, through a broker, bank, or other nominee), you will need to bring a copy of a brokerage statement reflecting your stock ownership as of the Record Date to gain admittance to the Special Meeting.


What constitutes a quorum?


A majority of the 80,000,000 shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Record Date must be represented, in person or by proxy, to provide a quorum at the Special Meeting. If you vote, your shares will be part of the quorum.  Shares represented by a proxy card either marked “ABSTAIN” or returned without voting instructions are counted as present for the purpose of determining whether the quorum requirement is satisfied.  Also, in those instances where shares are held by brokers who have returned a proxy but are prohibited from exercising discretionary authority for beneficial owners who have not given voting instructions (“broker non-votes”), those shares will be counted as present for quorum purposes.  However, broker non-votes will not be counted as votes for or against any proposal.


What is the effect of not voting?


It will depend on how your share ownership is registered.  If you own shares as a registered holder and do not vote, your unvoted shares will not be represented at the meeting and will not count toward the quorum requirement.  If a quorum is obtained, your unvoted shares will not affect whether any proposal is approved or rejected.


If you own shares in street name and do not vote, your broker may represent your shares at the meeting for purposes of obtaining a quorum.  In the absence of your voting instructions, your broker may or may not vote your shares in its discretion depending on the proposals before the meeting.  Your broker may vote your shares in its discretion on routine matters.  With regard to non-routine matters, broker non-votes will be counted towards a quorum, but will not be counted for any purpose in determining whether these matters have been approved.  Abstentions will be counted toward the tabulation of votes and will have the same effect as negative notes.  Once a share is represented at the Special Meeting, it will be deemed present for quorum purposes throughout the Special Meeting (including any adjournment or postponement of that meeting unless a new record date is or must be set for such adjournment or postponement).




5



How can I vote?


You can vote in one of two ways.  You can vote by mail or you can vote in person at the meeting.


1.   You may vote by mail.  You may vote by completing and signing the proxy card that accompanies this proxy statement and promptly mailing it in the enclosed postage-prepaid envelope.  You do not need to put a stamp on the enclosed envelope if you mail it in the United States.  The shares you own will be voted according to the instructions on the proxy card you mail.  If you return the proxy card, but do not give any instructions on a particular matter described in this proxy statement, then the shares you own will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of the Board of Directors.


2.   You may vote in person.  If you attend the Special Meeting, then you may vote by delivering your completed proxy card in person or you may vote by completing a ballot.  Ballots will be available at the meeting.


Can I change my vote after I return my proxy card?


Yes.  Even after you have submitted your proxy, you can change your vote at any time before the proxy is exercised by appointing a new proxy bearing a later date, by providing written notice to the Secretary of the Company that you are revoking your proxy, or by voting in person at the Special Meeting.  Presence at the Special Meeting of a shareholder who has appointed a proxy does not in itself revoke a proxy.  Unless so revoked, the shares represented by proxies received by the proxy holders will be voted at the Special Meeting.  When a shareholder specifies a choice by means of the proxy, then the shares will be voted in accordance with such specifications.  A written notice to the Company’s Secretary revoking your proxy must be sent to Twentyfour/seven Ventures, Inc., 132 W. 11th Avenue, Denver, CO 80204, Attention:  Secretary.


What am I voting on?


   You are voting on one proposal:


To amend the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to include the following language:


ARTICLE X

SHAREHOLDER MEETINGS


Meetings of shareholders may be held within or without the State of Colorado, as the bylaws may provide. The books of the corporation may be kept (subject to any provision of Colorado law) outside the State of Colorado at such place or places as may be designated from time to time by the board of directors or in the bylaws of the corporation. In accordance with § 7-107-104 of the Colorado Revised Statues, shareholder action may be taken without a meeting if



6



shareholders holding shares having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all of the shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted consent to such action in writing.


What are the Board’s recommendations?


   The Board recommends a vote FOR the amendment of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation.


If you sign and return your proxy card, unless you give other instructions on your proxy card, the persons named as proxy holders on the proxy card will vote your shares in accordance with the recommendations of the Board.


How are votes counted?


Votes will be counted by the inspector of election appointed for the meeting, who will separately count “For” and “Withhold” votes, and with respect to proposals other than the election of directors, “Against” votes, abstentions, and broker non-votes.  Abstentions will be counted towards the vote total for each proposal and will have the same effect as “Against” votes.  Broker non-votes have no effect and will not be counted towards the vote total for any proposal.


If your shares are held by your broker as your nominee (that is, in “street name”), you will need to obtain a proxy form from the institution that holds your shares and follow the instructions included on that form regarding how to instruct your broker to vote your shares.  If you do not give the broker or nominee specific instructions, your broker or nominee can vote your shares with respect to “discretionary” items, but not with respect to “non-discretionary” items.  Discretionary items are proposals considered routine under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange on which your broker may vote shares held in street name in the absence of your voting instructions.  On non-discretionary items for which you do not give your broker instructions, the shares will be treated as broker non-votes.  Shares represented by such “broker non-votes” will, however, be counted in determining whether there is a quorum.


What vote is required to approve the proposals?


If a quorum is present at the Special Meeting, then the amendment of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or by proxy at the Special Meeting.


Are there any other items that are to be discussed during the Special Meeting?


No.  The Company is not aware of any other matters that you will be asked to vote on at the Special Meeting.  If other matters are properly brought before the Special Meeting, the Board or proxy holders will use their discretion on these matters as they may arise.




7



Who pays to prepare, mail, and solicit the proxies?


Proxies may be solicited by personal meeting, Internet, advertisement, telephone, and facsimile machine, as well as by use of the mails.  Solicitations may be made by directors, officers and other employees of the Company, none of whom will receive additional compensation for such solicitations.  The cost of soliciting proxies will be borne by the Company.  It is anticipated that banks, brokerage houses, and other custodians, nominees, or fiduciaries will be requested to forward solicitation materials to their principals and to obtain authorization for the execution of proxies and that they will be reimbursed by the Company for their out-of-pocket expenses incurred in providing those services.  All expenses of solicitation of proxies will be borne by the Company.


Delivery of Proxy Materials to Households


Pursuant to SEC rules, services that deliver the Company’s communications to shareholders that hold their stock through a bank, broker, or other holder of record may deliver to multiple shareholders sharing the same address a single copy of the Company’s special report to shareholders and this proxy statement.  Upon written or oral request, the Company will promptly deliver a separate copy of this proxy statement to any shareholder at a shared address to which a single copy of each document was delivered.  Shareholders may notify the Company of their requests by calling the Company at (720) 266-6996 or by sending a written request addressed to Twentyfour/seven Ventures, Inc., 132 W. 11th Avenue, Denver, CO 80204, Attention:  Secretary.  Upon written or oral request, the Company will promptly deliver a copy of the special report to any shareholder.  Shareholders may notify the Company of their requests by calling the Company at (720) 266-6996 or by sending a written request addressed to Twentyfour/seven Ventures, Inc., 132 W. 11th Avenue, Denver, CO 80204, Attention:  Secretary.

PROPOSAL TO THE SHAREHOLDERS


PROPOSAL I

AMENDMENT OF THE COMPANY’S ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION


Introduction


The Board of Directors has approved and recommends that the shareholders approve the amendment of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to include the following language:


ARTICLE X

SHAREHOLDER MEETINGS


Meetings of shareholders may be held within or without the State of Colorado, as the bylaws may provide. The books of the corporation may be kept (subject to any provision of Colorado law) outside the State of Colorado at such place or places as may be designated from time to time by the board of directors or in the bylaws of the corporation. In accordance with § 7-107-104 of the Colorado Revised Statues, shareholder action may be taken without a meeting if shareholders holding shares having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all of the shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted consent to such action in writing.


As more fully described below, the Board of Directors believes that the amended Articles of Incorporation would ensure that any future shareholder actions may be taken without a meeting if the minimum number of shareholders necessary to authorize the action were present and consent to that action in writing.  This will reduce time and costs relating to obtaining proxies and holding a meeting. This enables the Company to move forward on actions without requiring the notification of 100% of the shareholders when a majority has already approved an action.


Shareholders are urged to read and consider carefully the proposed amendment to the Articles of Incorporation.


What happens if the amendment is not approved at this meeting?


If shareholder approval is not received at this meeting, the Company will be required under Colorado law to hold a meeting and undergo the expense and time of sending out proxy statements any time they do not have 100% shareholder consent for a corporate action, regardless of the number of shares currently approving the action.  This will be an additional expense and will have the additional effect of increasing the amount of time that it takes for the Company to institute any corporate action, resulting in the Company operating inefficiently and cutting into the Company’s ability to earn a profit.

Recommendation


THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE AMENDMENT OF THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION.



DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS


Our bylaws provide that the number of directors who shall constitute the whole board shall not be less than one.  The shareholders at any annual meeting may determine the number which shall constitute the board and the number so determined shall remain fixed until changed at a subsequent annual meeting.  The directors shall be elected at each annual meeting of the shareholders; however, if any such annual meeting is not held or the directors are not elected thereat, the directors may be elected at any special meeting of shareholders held for that purpose.  All directors shall hold office until their respective successors are elected.

PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES


We engaged Cutler & Co., LLC as our independent auditor on December 30, 2013.  No fees were paid to them during the year ended December 31, 2013.


Audit Fees.  We paid aggregate fees and expenses of approximately $11,090 and $28,100 to Ronald R. Chadwick, P.C. during 2013 and 2012 for work completed for our annual audits and quarterly reviews of our financial statements.


Tax Fees. We did not incur any aggregate tax fees and expenses from Ronald R. Chadwick, P.C. for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 for professional services rendered for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning.


All Other Fees. We did not incur any other fees from Ronald R. Chadwick, P.C. during 2013 and 2012.


The board of directors, acting as the Audit Committee considered whether, and determined that, the auditor's provision of non-audit services was compatible with maintaining the auditor's independence.  All of the services described above for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 were approved by the board of directors pursuant to its policies and procedures.



PROCEDURE FOR SUBMITTING SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS


The following procedure should be utilized to submit a shareholder proposal:


All notices of proposals by shareholders, whether or not be included in the Company’s proxy materials, should be sent to the attention of the Secretary of the Company at Twentyfour/seven Ventures, Inc., 132 W. 11th Avenue, Denver, CO 80204.  Any such notice to the Secretary shall set forth as to each matter the shareholder proposes to bring before the Special Meeting (a) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the Special Meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at the Special Meeting, (b) the name and address, as they appear on the books of the Company, of the shareholder proposing such business, and the name and address of the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made, (c) the class and number of shares of the Company which are owned beneficially and of record by such shareholder of record and by the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made, and (d) any material interest of such shareholder of record and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made in such business.  The chairman of the meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that business was not properly brought before the meeting and in accordance with the procedures prescribed by the Bylaws, and if he should so determine, he shall so declare to the meeting and any such business not properly brought before the meeting shall not be transacted.

OTHER MATTERS


The Board of Directors does not currently know of any other matters to be presented at the Special Meeting.  If any other matters properly come before the special meeting, it is intended that the shares represented by Proxy will be voted with respect thereto in accordance with the judgment of the persons voting them.
