Over the last 9 months, I've had the opportunity to work for one of our clients, for whom we have built and run a Venture Studio. 🚀 A Venture Studio takes the venture building process to a new level and allows multiple ventures to be built and operated simultaneously 🏭 - how cool is that? This allows companies to build a portfolio of ventures aligned with their strategy and ecosystem. Check out our new landing page ⬇ to learn more about what a Venture Studio is and why it can benefit your business. 💡

Corporations have a unique advantage over new companies: They already know where the problems are, making them uniquely suited for success with venture studios. High Alpha Innovation CEO Elliott Parker recently spoke with InnoLead about why executives at large organizations should embrace the venture studio model, how studios differ from other innovation strategies, and the ideal corporate venture building structures to implement today. https://lnkd.in/gARdpW6S #VentureBuilding #VentureStudios #CorporateInnovation

Bulletpitch is hosting our first annual Investor Gala in NYC. Here's the backstory: Varun, one of the sharpest young VCs and angel investors I know (and my incredible co-host), and I had the idea to bring together the next generation of New York’s venture capital and growth equity investors. Our thought was simple: if we connect emerging talent now, they can: 1. Build relationships—since investors rarely prioritize meeting each other as they focus on founders or internally on their firms. 2. Become part of an ongoing community that grows year after year as they advance as VCs. It’s time to get in on the ground floor of something truly special. We wanted to create more than just a "networking" event. Instead, we envisioned an experience where investors can converse with a complimentary glass of wine in hand while appreciating some of the best art NYC has to offer. That’s why we partnered with the best art space in NYC. The event will be hosted at Silver Art’s 44,000 square foot artist residency and studio space in World Trade Center 4, often called the “YC for artists.” A big thank you to Silver Art Board members: Gregory, Shannon, and Keith for allowing us to use their space and for being fantastic partners to Bulletpitch and the broader venture community. Word is spreading, as applications have been flooding in. You can apply to join the event using the link in the comments.

Startups created in venture studios achieve seed funding twice as fast and exit 33% faster than conventional startups, with higher returns for investors and a 44% better financial outcome for the founders. A few months ago I had a few different options of gigs to choose from between accelerators, incubators, VCs and starting new companies, and decided to join up with the best venture studio creating significant impact in deep technology Deep Science Ventures.

"What do you mean 'venture studio'?" - Question from potential investors in Summit Venture Studio. Trying to answer concisely is sometimes difficult. When we raised funds for our studio if investors would spend about an hour talking with us about our model they would have several "ah ha" moments. It was tough for us to get those "ah ha" moments in a 10 minute pitch. - I think there were two reasons for this... 1. my pitching skills. 2. unfamiliar business model(s) For # 2 we were up against combining several new/unfamiliar business models in unfamiliar markets... 1. Venture studio model 2. University tech transfer commercialization 3. NOT a 2/20 fund model 4. NOT a 10 year VC fund timeframe 5. NOT unicorn hunting For our next Studio Fund I would like to both my pitching skills AND explaining these models more effectively and efficiently. What questions do you have about this slide explaining a venture studio? Matthew Burris and Max Pog what would you suggest changing or adding to this slide to make it more clear or a better explanation to prospective investors?
