Questions

What is Studio 3 Ventures?

A company-formation business through internal validation and incubation. We also operate under a co-development model with enterprise, SMEs, and governments.

Why Studio 3 Ventures now?

We believe the venture building and venture startup lifecycle is broken in many ways, or is inaccessible to the majority of the talent that builds or invests. Our mission is to bring forward-thinking individuals together with next-generation tools and methods to produce the companies that will propel the economies of the future.

Who's behind Studio 3?

We're a lean team of tenured professionals in fintech, telecom, consulting, banking, and the software technology industries. Collectively, we have worked on global-scale companies, started and sold companies, led departments at the Big Four, led M&A deals, run global business units of top-10 banks, worked in government relations, and worked with some of the world's biggest brands.

How does Studio 3 Ventures work with founders?

Through a founders-in-residence model: experienced operators matched to problems, who step into the venture at formation with founder-grade equity. In some cases we may even take in founders at the pre-validation stage.

Is Studio 3 Ventures a venture capital fund?

No. The studio co-founds and builds ventures and takes founder equity. A separate fund vehicle may follow later; it is not part of the studio today. The studio is affiliated with existing funds in certain geographies.

How does Studio 3 Ventures fund the companies it incubates?

Studio 3 explores a range of financing options. Investors and founders can invest through traditional means. The studio also supports new-finance methods, including stablecoins, on-chain protocols that track milestones, tokenization platforms to provide ventures with wide funding options in their future, among other technologies.

Does Studio 3 gamify venture building?

Just as the term sheet gamified access to capital, we're simply making the experience standardized, open, auditable and transparent end-to-end. This is so founders can build with the reassurance capital exists and will land as promised; and so investors can be reassured that founders are vetted transparently, and funded when appropriate. Through these mechanics, we score and rank founders, investors and advisors.

How will Studio 3 achieve this kind of transparency?

By providing founders, investors and advisors tools that will allow them to raise, invest, track, report, and discover opportunities in a trustworthy, auditable and transparent manner. More on this to come closer to launch. Please contact us if this sounds like something you would be interested in.

Why should founders get involved?

We provide access to an ecosystem of industry, policy and academic incumbents and champions to catalyse ideas into seed-funded companies. Founders may also be brought in early to help validate, instead of being hired to take on validated ideas. We're also open to external ideas or projects, where we can support them properly and provide exposure to investors, potential clients, governments or co-development partners.

Why should investors get involved?

Gain new opportunity signals in companies at the right milestones with consensus-based validation. The problems we solve come from our direct involvement in the verticals we're involved in, not through proxies.

Why should advisors get involved?

Domain judgment belongs inside the venture, not on a retainer bench. Advisors step in when a problem is live, with a real stake in the company that ships. Their work product belongs to that company, not to the studio.

Where is Studio 3 Ventures' data hosted?

Data is hosted where it needs to be, depending on the vertical, the project, stakeholders involved, and other requirements.

What is the Studio's stance on sovereign compute?

Studio 3's focus is on solutions and technology built around problems that require sovereignty, or systems that cannot evolve without sovereign controls. Due to this, many ideas on our roadmap come from our own dogfooding, and we build many systems in-house just to validate ideas securely and in true isolation.
