1. Build. Startups. Easier
1
Most startup ideas fail because the traditional startup
recipe leaves too much room for failure.
Learn how the so called startup studio model solves
most of the early-stage challenges entrepreneurs face
today.
This books shows you case studies, best practices
about how to build and grow such an organization.

2. Startup studios build multiple startups one after
another with in-house resources
2
The basic recipe of a startup studio
(also known as venture builder, startup factory) is:
• You take a core team & entrepreneurs in residence;
• Add shared infrastructure & in-house funding;
• Generate ideas internally, focusing on a specific area;
• You build multiple startups in parallel, with shared resources;
• If an idea doesn’t work, you reassign the team to a new one;
• What works you spin it off and get follow on funding;
• Grow. Exit. Repeat.

Compared to the old startup building recipe,
startup studios make early-stage building easier:
• You have a team of experienced company builders;
• The studio provides a safety net, reducing the risk of failure;
• Because the team sticks together even if an idea fails, their
experience grows, they become even better builders;
• A studio is perfect for quick, low-cost experimentation;
• You build trusted relationship with investors, so getting follow-on
investments for your portfolio companies becomes easier.
