A Venture Studio that's Empowering Innovation and Entrepreneurship
What we do
fall forward
we're a Venture studio
What exactly is a venture studio? At its core, a venture studio is a company that specializes in conceptualizing, building and nurturing new companies. Distinct from incubators or accelerators, we serve as a hands-on strategic partner or co-founder in bringing your entrepreneurial vision to life. Our primary goal is to help transform your business into a large-scale, innovative, and thriving enterprise. Our committed and experienced team collaborates closely with you to refine the concept, rigorously evaluate assumptions and opportunities, and utilize our collective expertise from seasoned professionals, entrepreneurs, engineers, and investors to optimize the chances of success. By investing our time, resources, capital, and proficiency, we aim to streamline the startup journey, facilitate swift and lucrative growth, and achieve exceptional results.
How we do it
Our comprehensive Approach
Ideating
Great startups begin with great ideas. Our team collaborates with you to brainstorm, refine, and validate your concept, ensuring it's innovative, feasible, and market-driven. We then prioritize projects to move them quickly, and efficiently through our process. Most importantly, we focus on building great companies together, so while we like to move fast, we put the highest value on delivering quality products and services that customers want or need.
Stress Testing Ideas
We rigorously research, analyze, and challenge ideas from various angles, identifying potential roadblocks and opportunities to fine-tune concepts. We have a set of assets that come from this stage in the process, that help to make the plan more focused on the problem/solution, and thus making it more robust and ready for the next stage of the startup cycle. This stage typically takes 2-4 weeks.
Determine Product/market Fit
Our experts will guide you through the design and development of a minimal viable product (MVP) to quickly gauge market interest and gather valuable user feedback. This process ensures that your product solves real-world problems and resonates with your target audience. A successful startup hinges on product-market fit (PMF). We employ proven, data-driven processes that help you understand and analyze market demand, competition and user feedback, which in turn enables us to refine your offering and position your startup for success in the marketplace. This stage can typically be completed in just 6-8 weeks (or less).
Forming and Growing the Company
Once the PMF is validated, and we’re all ready to go, together we help form the company and team. From assembling a high-performing team to establishing a strong brand identity, we support you in building a solid foundation for your startup. We also provide guidance on business strategy, marketing, sales, and more, to drive growth and scalability. Given our experience, we’ll help you get all the legal and operational stuff nailed down, and right the first time. A key to fundraising and future expansion.
Supporting the Company Throughout Its Lifecycle
Your success is our success. Our team is 100% committed to providing the ongoing support, resources, and mentorship you and your team needs along the way. Equally important, we help you navigate challenges, seize opportunities, and continuously adapt to stay ahead of the competition. We offer services such as fractional CFO, sales and marketing, entrepreneur in residence, legal, board formation and participation, strategic and tactical technology development, and more.
Stepping back
When the time is right, we step back and support your efforts. While we’re here until you exit or IPO, we will never be overbearing. Quite the opposite. Our goal is to help you be self-sufficient as quickly as possible. That’s just good business all around. We provide support and services for the business only as needed. We don’t force ourselves on the business, and as soon as we’re not needed for certain functions, we step back. That said, we’re always here if/when you need us.
