Startup studios build multiple startups one after another with in-house resources

The basic recipe of a startup studio (also known as venture builder, startup factory) is:

• You take a core team & entrepreneurs in residence;• Add shared infrastructure & in-house funding;• Generate ideas internally, focusing on a specific area;• You build multiple startups in parallel, with shared resources;• If an idea doesn’t work, you reassign the team to a new one;• What works you spin it off and get follow on funding;• Grow. Exit. Repeat.

Compared to the old startup building recipe, startup studios make early-stage building easier:

• You have a team of experienced company builders;• The studio provides a safety net, reducing the risk of failure;• Because the team sticks together even if an idea fails, their

experience grows, they become even better builders;• A studio is perfect for quick, low-cost experimentation;• You build trusted relationship with investors, so getting follow-on

investments for your portfolio companies becomes easier.
