A startup studio, also known as a startup factory, or a startup foundry, or a venture studio, is a studio-like company that aims at building several startup companies in succession. This style of business building is referred to as "parallel entrepreneurship".
Unlike business incubators and accelerators, venture builders generally don't accept applications, and the companies instead pull business ideas from within the team itself, or their close network, and assign internal teams to develop them. Some startup studios also act as early stage venture capitalists.




History


Idealab, founded by Bill Gross in 1996, was one of the first to introduce the 'incubator industry' to the field of technology startups, and has started over 75 companies. Idealab was founded to test many ideas at once and turn the best of them into companies while also attracting the human and financial capital necessary to bring them to the market.
In the wake of the tech revolution in the early 2000s, the startup studio sector experienced a surge in growth. This led to the emergence of several studios, which modeled themselves after Idealab, seeking to demonstrate the efficacy of their successful model. During this era of technological advancements, leading studios like Rocket and Betaworks established themselves as independent entities by launching scalable businesses to meet the growing demand and adapt to the changing landscape.
The startup studio trend gained momentum beginning in 2008. As of 2015, there were over 65 startup studios across the world, of which 17 had been built since 2013. As of 2022 there are more than 780 startup studios across the globe.

During the 2020s, there has been a notable surge and increasing traction in the Startup Studio framework. This trend is bolstered by expanding communities and networks dedicated to disseminating knowledge about Startup Studios, aiding in their establishment, expansion, and acceleration. Notably, StudioHub stands out as the preeminent global network of Startup Studios and venture builders. Headquartered in Italy, this network provides an extensive array of publicly accessible resources and also offers annual memberships aimed at fostering the development of Startup Studios on a global scale.
