Venture Studio
An organisation that builds startups in-house, providing capital, team and resources from the start.
Unlike accelerators that support external startups, venture studios (or company builders) generate ideas internally and assemble founding teams, taking significant equity in return for hands-on building. They suit founders who want to build within a structured, resourced environment.
Examples
A studio spins out a new company with an in-house team. — A founder joins a venture studio’s portfolio company.
How it relates to The Startup Foundry
As an accelerator, the Foundry supports your existing startup with assessment, tools and investment — complementary to the studio model.
