Why Use a Venture Studio?

Venture studios achieve better results, with 84% of start-ups out of studios raising a seed round.​

Our innovative approach to venture building focuses on continuous improvement and iteration of  repeatable processes.

We do this to enable founders and business to focus on their expertise whilst we support them with the rest. These benefits include operational support, fundraising support, access to experts and a faster time to market. 
Current Landscape

Venture studios take an average equity stake of​ 34% in the companies they help create.​

We offer our services and advisory support to help you build and fund your business, in exchange for a minority equity stake.

This is because our investment is our services and not with financial investment attached, giving the founder more control of their cap table in the long run, and a greater chance of success.
