After publishing my 7-month research on startup studios, I got connections to hundreds of studios worldwide. Since that, together with my team, I began hosting Online Conferences and launched this P2P community.
Venture Studio Family is a super opportunity for all studios to access investors familiar with the venture studio model, gain best practices and useful content from experienced peers, as well as educate the market on the venture studio model.
I'm inviting 1) established studios, 2) emerging studios, & 3) aspiring studio founders to join the community.
