Build the studio you've been imagining — with structure, clarity, and support.
Our four-week Studio Foundations Program is designed for emerging venture studio leaders who want to turn a promising idea into a fundable, operational plan.
What You'll Accomplish
Venture Studios are complex. The most successful venture studios start by building a clear model, aligned roles, and a plan investors can understand. Our Studio Foundations Program focuses on these critical elements to help you get started the right way.
Over four weeks, you'll build — piece by piece — the core architecture of your venture studio:
Your mission, thesis, and the studio's role
Your ecosystem map, founder role, and investor messaging
Your venture creation funnel, stage gates, and capital flows
A complete studio plan generated through Nexus: Studio
You leave with clarity, confidence, and a plan aligned to Venture Studio Index (VSI) principles that you can actually execute.
Why This Program Works
It's applied, not theoretical. Participants apply frameworks to their own venture studio and receive feedback. No abstract theory, no panels.
It's built by practitioners. Weekly clinics walk through real templates and real examples.
It's grounded in the Venture Studio Index. The same methodology used by leading studios.
It's integrated with Nexus: Studio. Your outputs feed directly into the software that powers your plan.
This isn't just inspiration — it's structure.
