The Startup Chat With Steli And Hiten

In today’s episode of The Startup Chat, Steli and Hiten talk about the concept of company builders or company studios. But what is a company studio? According to Steli, a company studio is a corporate structure that brings together talent and people, develops ideas and prototypes with those people and once those ideas or prototypes become something viable, they infuse capital into that project and incorporate it into a new business. It’s basically something in between starting your own company and being part of an accelerator like Y-combinator. In this episode, Steli and Hiten share their thoughts on what company studios are, the benefits of joining them, the challenges of running one and much more.
