Just read this incredible research from InNiches Max Pog that dives deep into the startup studio model. The illustrations are fantastic, and it got me thinking about when founders should consider a studio instead of the other routes? If you have these 3 things, a startup studio might be your best move: 1- A solid idea but lack the technical team: Studios often come with in-house developers, designers, and product experts to help build your startup from the ground up. 2- You're looking for a co-founder with skin in the game: Studios don’t just mentor—they become co-founders, fully invested in your success, providing ongoing support, resources, and strategy. 3- You need more than funding: Unlike incubators or accelerators, studios offer end-to-end support, from idea validation to scaling, rather than just cash.

I could launch a Startup Studio tomorrow... & so can you. The Micro-Studio is taking off and I'm breaking down the blueprint ?? Thousands of indie hackers around the world are running Micro-Studios and don’t even know it. ? Building multiple products ? Equity ownership in each product ? Selling the products for multiples The key word above is "products" -- notice I didn't say ventures or companies. The difference between a traditional Studio and a "Micro-Studio" is simply scale. ?? Traditional Studios: goal = build venture scale companies that sell for millions ?? Micro Studios: goal = build products that generate cash flow and sell for thousands Skeptical? Here are some examples: ?? Pieter Levels launched 12 startups in 12 months. His businesses now make $2.7M ARR. ?? Justin Welsh monetizes content & courses (education products). He makes $2M+ per year. ?? Dan Ni's Micro-Studio is called TLDR - currently running 8 curated newsletters with over 5 million readers making $5M+ annually. The best thing is, Micro-Studios are easy to get going with. Here's my Micro-Studio blueprint: 1?? Develop an?innovation playbook?(repeatable startup build processes) 2??

When considering low/no-code platforms to develop your startup idea, remember that once you go live, those platforms will become part of your production environment. This means that a third-party system that you have no control over will run your product. Moreover, even if you trust their reliability to serve your customers, think through the development/production environment setup, as many of those platforms don't have proper support for having a development environment and deploying changes to production once they are tested. I'm dealing with a system that was built on a popular backend no-code service and another frontend service, both of which (!) don't have this sorted out properly. This means that we practically have to test on production ?? #mvp #entrepreneurship #nocode

Hear me out: if you want to bootstrap a startup, look at where all the investors are pouring money and do the opposite. If you want to bootstrap, you can't compete with the cash-as-a-moat strategy anyways. And it's a signal that maybe that kind of company isn't really bootstrap-able. I'm not saying invest in a dying industry though. Still do your research. But compete where throwing tons of cash at problems isn't the primary game being played. In short, think of which game you want to play, and find the playing field where that strategy will actually win. Tell me why I’m wrong. I want to hear counterarguments. #bootstrapping

I’m bullish on venture studios as a GREAT (but definitely not “only” way) to create startups. Here’s why ?? Part 2 of 2. Studio model is like bringing on expert dev/marketing except it brings on everything so you can focus just on being the expert in your product/service and build specific product/service authority. Company science and people science are products themselves. Not something every founder can really master unless they make THAT their expertise and not their product. The people that make product/company building their product/expertise are venture studio operators or founder mentors. You also learn much faster from expert company operators than AB testing combinations that have already known answers that can take 10yrs+ on your own which a studio can do in 1yr or 1 month depending product size. Every proper advice starts with your goal(s). Identify your goal and unique life path…then apply the above to see what’s a fit for you to best connect your unique life path/experience with your unique life goal. Studio model “quantifiably” improves the polynomial equation described at a high level above that I’ve literally written in excel sheets and algorithms. You end up with more actual money in your bank (despite equity slice “appearance”) and more customer “impact” than going any other route. It’s also the most reliable route to success…which the theory logic and numbers back. It’s not for everyone but it is for so many. The world is waking up to this this year. The math has existed all along but most just never looked…until now. Co-founders, investors or studio owners are effectively marriages… So focus on personal development, people science and communication as your top founder skills (become a “gravity ball”) so you can be best skilled and best positioned to say… Who is safe to get married to (reliable, skilled, consistent, great communicator) and who am I highest aligned with (values, mission, speed, timeline) over the long term with clear, quantified and dated goals?
