We’re witnessing the rise of the “venture studio” and the “venture builder” — new entities that seek to create startups with corporate partners or on their own. The ones that work with corporate partners bring together entrepreneurs, and the resources those entrepreneurs need, to create new ventures targeting opportunities that those partners have identified, but working outside of the core business.
But it’s a confusing landscape. There are hundreds of organizations of different shapes, sizes, and capabilities around the world that call themselves venture studios, or say that they offer venture building capabilities and services. To complicate matters further, some big companies have even started rebranding their internal corporate innovation labs as “venture studios.” It is a buzzworthy term, to say the least. Our goal is to better detail who some of the key players are; how they interact with corporates; and what sort of ventures they’ve launched.
