Welcome to the Studio Stack newsletter ⚡️

Hey friends,

First off, yep—it’s been a minute.

Thanks for your patience while Studio Stack took an extended breather. I hit pause because I needed to zoom out. Since then, I’ve been experimenting, exploring, and frankly, just living a bit—diving into community building, first with a pricing strategy firm and now with an incredible community of innovation professionals (DM me if you’re curious—it’s genuinely brilliant).

But now, I’m looking at the Venture Studio space with fresh eyes… there’s a shift coming in 2026… I can feel it. Studios that are paying attention will eat. The rest? 🤷‍♂️

So I’m bringing this newsletter back—because if you’re in or around the Studio world (or just Studio-curious), you’re going to want to be ahead of it.

Let’s dive in.
