Panel | Before the pitch deck: How venture studios create investable companies
Oct 14, 2026 | 10:30 AM - 11:00 AM
Venture studios are changing how startups are built and financed. Rather than investing in companies only after they have been created, they help shape the idea, assemble the team, develop the product and validate the business before a conventional pitch deck exists.
This session will explore how venture studios work, what they offer founders and how their model provides an alternative path to early-stage financing. It will also address the challenges they face when engaging with venture capital investors, from ownership structures and governance to questions around scalability, independence and future funding. A practical conversation on where venture studios fit within the startup ecosystem and what founders and investors should understand before working together.
