Thesis Paper
THESIS PAPER The Startup Studio as a form of Business Model Innovation. A comparative study on the case of Founders Copenhagen as a Startup Studio, compared to more traditional models of Venture Capital Funding. Abstract The purpose of this research paper is to assess the value of a relatively new form of venture capital funding, The Startup Studio, which offers a new approach to financing and supporting ventures in their early stages. In order to gain a comprehensive analysis of the new form venture funding compared to traditional models, this research adapts theories of Business Model Innovation, Pluralistic Leadership and Innovation Management, as a way of showing the value-adding benefits of the Startup Studio model. Using the case study of Founders, a Danish startup studio based in Copenhagen, this research will show, through primary data gathered at the company, that the startup studio business model offers young ventures a much more stable and attainable form of support, in the processing of launching a startup. The reader will see that traditional models of funding are not only unattainable for many early stage startups, but also that their extreme growth models can be considered damaging to venture longevity.

The Startup Studio: New Phenomenon Or Rebranding of Existing Support?
The Startup Studio: New Phenomenon or Rebranding of Existing Support? by Maximilian Haffen Lamm & Jack Peters May 2019 Master’s Programme in Entrepreneurship & Innovation Supervisor: Hans Landström Examiner: Gustav Hägg Abstract Research Problem - Considering the increasing trend towards startup studios in the business world, the literature does not provide much information regarding these start-up support organisations. In recent years, researchers have put their attention on accelerators, creating a broad understanding of this concept. It is important for entrepreneurs to be aware of the different support organisations available. Research Aim - The study explored both an accelerator and a startup studio to understand what they want to achieve, how they intend to achieve it, and how they operate to realise this. Thus, to know whether startup studios are a new phenomenon or another name for already existing supports. Methods - The study used a qualitative semi-structured interview base with one accelerator and one startup studio. In total, thirteen interviews were conducted exposing different perspectives to better understand these two structures. An analysis of four entrepreneurial methods was conducted to better distinguish their work. Results - The results highlighted differences between the organisations, in terms of both their business models and their approach to supporting start-ups. There were similarities and differences with regards to the entrepreneurial methods promoted and utilised at each organisation, with their aims, motivations and philosophy being strong influencing factors as to why. Implications - The startup studio studied, differed to several aspects of the literate covering accelerators. Literature on startup studios is limited, therefore, future research is recommended, especially through quantitative methods to find a generalisable result.
