Startup Studio

Notes

Also known as venture building, startup factory, startup foundry, or venture studio.
It's an organization that creates startups following a repetitive process. It acts as a co-founder to startups.
- Besides providing funding for early-stage startups (as a venture capital do), Studios will also assign members of their team to help the original founding team build the startup.
  - Because of this, Studios take more equity than venture capitals.
The products of Startup Studios are startups.
Some Studios:
A Studio must have its thesis to get focus on.
- A Studio thesis is principles to be followed in every decision making.
- Examples of thesis:
  - Improving healthcare.
  - Improving the ways of payments.
  - Building AI-powered products.
- Without a thesis, Studios may become overwhelmed and lose cost-saving efficiencies.
  - This makes Studios valuable.
Studios make money through startup exits.
