Venture Studio

Navigating the Ecosystem

Process is important in almost every endeavor and especially so when creating a startup. Our team will work with you through a time-proven milestone-driven process over four phases that are aimed at transforming an idea into a startup. We will focus on achieving milestones in a sequence that begins with a macro-level viewpoint of the startup and its market, dives deep into a qualitative and quantitative analysis of the company, and then brings it all together to execute the business plan. This milestone-driven process focused on customer discovery, customer validation, and customer creation allows us to remain focused, pivot quickly as needed, and arrive at an end destination within a target timeframe.
