What are startup studios?
Startup studios (also called "venture builders" and "company builders") offer young companies (or people with just ideas) a range of services in order to create new companies at lightspeed. The studios offer all kinds of people (designers, developers, marketeers, brand builders, strategics and more), a place to work, infrastructure and more. In return, they usually take a piece of your equity (or a piece of future revenues).
