This illustration, courtesy of Matthew Burris, does a great job of demystifying venture studios. Studios develop in-house ideas, guide ideas through a rigorous validation process, assist in raising capital, and provide essential business resources. This comprehensive support contributes to the 30% higher success rate of studio-backed businesses.

The Iceberg Model (Venture Studio Edition) Many entrepreneurs, investors, and operators still don’t know what venture studios are And many of the people who do know (Actually know very little) So, I’m trying to change that (1 post at a time) Hope this visual gives you some insight on some of the more attractive facts about studios P.S. Shout out to Max Pog and James Moran for their extensive research within this space (Much of the information in this post was gathered from their documentation) P.S.2 For more venture studio insights, follow (Matthew Burris) for daily studio content

Congratulations to our real estate and hospitality teams on their recent acquisition of The Landing Hotel, Restaurant, and Pub in Ketchikan, Alaska. This exciting venture is part of our broader strategy to expand our portfolio of hospitality properties in unique, outdoor-focused locations. Ketchikan is a prime vacation destination–renowned for its vibrant tourism, outdoor activities, and cultural heritage. The Landing Hotel is situated right on the ocean and boasts 107 units. This exciting property also offers a restaurant and pub serving tourists and locals alike. Philo team member and CEO of Basecamp Hospitality, Jonathan Hooke, arrived in Ketchikan last week, where he’ll spend the next few months overseeing the hotel’s smooth transition (check out the pic of Jon arriving at The Landing Hotel). Those of you searching for a great vacation spot outside of the norm should check out this incredible hotel and destination. Ketchikan is known as the “Salmon Capital of the World” for its world-class salmon fishing. Visitors also enjoy kayaking, ziplining, and exploring the city’s unique Alaska Native history.

Shoutout to Nonsense for making waves in the edtech space. Check out how this new app is helping users learn new languages through movies.
🔗: https://lnkd.in/gZw-BtWJ There is significant research confirming the pedagogical benefits of using movies to learn a second language, including an increase in learners’ motivation, a decrease in anxiety and more effective vocabulary acquisition. Enter Nonsense, an app launched earlier this year that allows users to learn new languages by watching movies. “Using movies to help you learn languages … is more enjoyable and more effective than other ways you try to learn a language,” claims Tyler Slater, co-founder and CEO of Nonsense. 🖋: Izzy Howell Martin Bekerman

Venture studios can “de-risk entrepreneurship” Bringing higher return for investors Here’s what a venture studio is (And why it’s not VC only) Which is the the most common misconception, that I pop on a first call. P.S. This model brings massive economic improvement all over the world (Based on data) Repost so more people could learn about studios as well #startupstudio #entrepreneurship #privateequity #startups #founders #venturecapital
