Working with a Startup Studio, pros & cons

Updated: Oct 3, 2023



🚀 Let’s not beat around the bush, working with a Startup studio has its advantages and disadvantages.

Lucky for us we found more pros than cons… 😉


✅ Pros:

📈 Accelerated growth: By joining a studio, you'll have access to resources and support to accelerate your startup's growth. This helps tremendously in achieving goals more quickly, committing fewer mistakes, and potentially attracting more investments.


🎯 Expertise and guidance: Building and scaling a startup is a daunting task, especially if you don't have prior experience. Studios have experienced entrepreneurs and/or investors on their team who can provide guidance and mentorship to help you navigate.


🛠️ Access to resources: As an early-stage founder, it can be challenging to secure funding and other resources. By working with a studio, you'll have access to a range of resources that can help you succeed.


🌟 Access to a diverse range of talent: Studios often have a diverse range of talent on their team. By working with one, you'll have access to this talent pool, which can help you build a more well-rounded and successful team.


🌐 Network and connections: One of the biggest advantages of joining is the network and connections you'll gain access to. This can include potential investors, partners, and customers who can help you grow your business.



❌ Cons:

🎛️ Less control: Joining a studio means that you may have to give up some control over your company. The studio will have a say in major decisions and direction, which can be challenging for some founders.


🚫 Limited flexibility: Studios often have their own model for building and growing startups, which may not align with your vision for your own company.


💰 Lower equity stake: In exchange for the resources and support provided by the studio, you give up a larger equity stake in your company.
