Welcome to the Studio Stack newsletter, let’s dive in!
Over the past 6 weeks, I’ve been hard at work on a project very close to my heart ♥️
INTRODUCING: THE GLOBAL VENTURE STUDIO DATABASE
As with most projects, this one started as a side interest.
I spend a lot of time talking with founders, investors, and emerging Studio leaders about their businesses. In these conversations, I often give recommendations of Studios to check out.
As the ecosystem grows, it’s become harder and harder to recall specific details about various Studios, so I started an Airtable list and organized each Studio by…
Location
Niche
Team size
Website Link
Whether or not they accept inbound submissions
And Year Founded
I started adding to the list each day from various Studios I would come across and pretty soon the list was up over 100 - that’s when this transformed from a project to a product.
I decided to embark on a mad mission to hand curate and validate each and every Studio from every list, map, database, social, and internet search I could find.
The result is this Global Venture Studio Database.
It was my mission to ensure every single Studio on this list is still active and is actually a Studio (not an incubator, accelerator, agency, consulting firm, or anything else.
There are over 500 Studios on the list and I am committed to updating and validating it on a weekly/ monthly basis to ensure it remains as up to date as possible.
I’m excited to share this database with you all and as a token of my appreciation for your support of this newsletter, I’m offering 30% off using 🔗 this special link 🔗
