Startup Studio Newsletter | ED56
This week's newsletter features stories from Highline Beta, Denis Kovalevich, Fenwick - The Gallery TV + news from Carbon13, WingSpan, AdAstral Labs, FedDev Ontario, Hexa, and Cartwheel Studio.
Through my work with emerging Studios, I’m often chatting with innovators who aren’t ready to launch a Studio yet… but the idea is there.
My advice in most cases is to simplify the plan.
Studios evolve over time and, while many leaders want to immediately launch a big massive empire, most innovators would be better served spending a year building multiple products and getting the playbook down.
This got me thinking about million dollar one-person businesses or what I like to call “Micro Studios”. If you’re an emerging Studio leader, it’s a fantastic rabbit hole to explore (this Trends.vc report is a great place to start).
I realized that thousands of indie hackers around the world are running Micro-Studios and don’t even know it.
This week I did a deep dive on that topic - here’s the link to check it out.
Each week, I’ll publish a similar framework breakdown or case study in my LinkedIn newsletter. That newsletter is a different format from this one, where this focuses on the curation of updates from across the Studio sphere and that dives deep on a particular topic from the Studio world.
