Startup studios are interchangeably known around the globe as venture studios, venture builders, or company builders. These venture builders are getting a lot of attention these days. If there were fewer than a handful ten years ago, today, there are more than 500.

Studios are incredibly effective in building early-stage startups. ​​These unique companies go beyond financial capital and the usual 3-month acceleration to provide founders with full support throughout the lifetime of the venture. So the founders can focus on scaling the business: design, engineering, finance, marketing, HR, IT, and recruiting.
