Starting a business is a bold decision. That’s why finding the right people to help you along your path is crucial.

The venture studio model is quickly becoming the new standard for startups, exactly for that reason. It supports entrepreneurs to reach their goals and bring their vision to fruition, while minimizing risk. It drives value by redefining traditional business practices, such as the seed accelerator model.

Venture studios operate differently than traditional accelerators because they're not looking for equity in their clients' businesses. Instead, they work on a revenue share basis, which enables them to provide more comprehensive services and flexible agreements.

Although accelerators are effective sources of funding and coaching, venture studios have a greater success rate due to the increased value they bring to their clients. Here are 3 ways they have improved the seed accelerator model:

1. Custom strategy

Accelerators are wonderful at providing access to mentors. However, this does not guarantee that the business model strategies that are instructed to be implemented will be effective. What an organization truly needs in order to be successful is a custom, well thought out and long-lasting business plan that will generate income.

A venture studio cares just as much about the success of your startup as you do. On the other hand, an accelerator's objectives often differ from those of the entrepreneurs they are supporting. Venture studios have the flexibility, assets and interest to create a strategy that will allow you to stand out from the crowd, earn revenue and run your business effectively.

‍2. Abundance of resources

Once you have a solid strategy, the next step is making sure you have the right resources at your disposal. Venture studios produce much fewer startups than accelerator programs, so their resources are less likely to be overstretched and can be allocated to each company with the right focus, direction and support they require to succeed.

Venture studios are made up of experts from different industries that come together to form an incubator for early-stage companies. This ensures they can offer a plethora of resources to help businesses grow and the freedom to adapt to their needs. They are able to focus on different, specific industries and provide access to everything from talent acquisition to strategic planning and fundraising.

3. Attention to detail

The biggest advantage of the venture studio model is the ability to provide enough attention to a business’s particular needs, driving the best personal results. This way, entrepreneurs receive expert support from a team who truly understands what makes their idea unique and worth investing in.

Every startup in an accelerator goes through the same process, which can hinder the exploration of their idea. What venture studios do differently is collaborate with various executives and business owners with a track record of developing successful businesses. They drive value to the people who join them by giving them the necessary tools to execute their specific idea in a low-risk, high-reward way.

We're living in a time of innovation, where new ideas and technologies are constantly being developed. This can be both exciting and intimidating - exciting because the potential for growth is limitless, but intimidating because it's hard to know what business models will actually work. Establishing an affluent company is no easy task. But with a knowledgeable team, access to quality resources, a well-defined plan and a deep understanding of a company’s mission and values - success is inevitable.
