[ Venture studio ]

Build a company. Share the ambition.

We partner with founders and industry experts to build new companies. Product, design and engineering, invested alongside you.

Let’s discuss your idea

Two ways to partner.

Co-build

Your company. A shared commitment.

You have market validation and early traction. We bring a senior product, design and AI team in exchange for equity, working with you for the long term.

Our contribution: A senior team working with you week in, week out, as a founding hire would.
The agreement: Equity instead of a cash invoice. Written terms and vesting aligned with your cap table.
Your role: You retain control and the majority of the company you founded.
The right stage: Pre-seed to Series A, with market validation and a clear product need.

Joint venture

A new company, built together.

An opportunity we identify or an idea we shape together. We form a company, share the roadmap and take the founding decisions together.

Our contribution: Founding-team commitment, product development, network and operational experience.
Your contribution: Domain expertise, access to customers or a strategic asset. Sometimes capital.
Shared decisions: Equity, roadmap and hiring. Ownership is negotiated for each project, typically on a 50/50 basis.
The right partner: Industry leaders or strategic partners creating a new product line from scratch.

Get to know each other. Then build together.

01
Conversation
A coffee or a call. No pitch deck required: tell us what you see in your market and why it matters now.
02
Working session
Two to three weeks of unpaid exploratory work: customer conversations, working sessions, sometimes a prototype. A chance to see how we work together.
03
Terms
We agree on roles, ownership and commitments in clear, founder-friendly terms.
04
Build
The Studio 8 team joins the working sessions, product decisions and delivery, until the company is ready to operate independently.

A partnership for the long term.

We look for founders who know their customers and are already testing their convictions in the field. We are drawn to B2B services, knowledge work and operationally complex industries where AI can change the work itself. A venture means years of collaboration: the fit matters on both sides.
