Global Venture Studio Survey in Collaboration with MIT, Harvard, and Stanford Researchers
Tackling the data gap and shaping research in venture studios for years to come
Yesterday we launched the most comprehensive venture studio survey ever undertaken. In collaboration with researchers from MIT, Harvard, and Stanford, and building on the Venture Studio Index frameworks, this survey combines operational data with classification standards to enable rigorous performance analysis across diverse studio strategies.
This survey will deliver meaningful insights for:
LPs: Performance benchmarks and strategic insights critical for informed capital allocation.
Operators: Peer data to evaluate and sharpen your operational approach.
Researchers: A structured foundation to classify and analyze studios by strategy type.
Covering legal structures, funding models, governance, geography, and performance metrics, participation grants access to the aggregate findings report, inclusion in the VSF database, and contributes to white papers shaping the asset class.
If you’re a studio founder or operator, reserve an hour today to make your voice heard.
If not, forward this to a studio founder who should join.
The strength of this dataset depends on full spectrum participation.
