Martin Bell, Founder & CEO of Bell Ventures GmbH La trasformazione digitale ha reso visibile come, nei settori a maggior tasso di innovazione, vi sia la necessità di una risposta altrettanto innovativa nel modo di creare impresa. In un momento storico dove i cambiamenti avvengono in modo esponenziale, dove il termine “per- formance” coincide con quello di perfezione e dove il disruptive è diventato ormai la “premessa” piuttosto che il “fine”, la differenza sarà nella capacità delle imprese di valorizzare non ciò che non è digitale, bensì ciò che non potrà essere digitalizzabile. In questo contesto si inseriscono tutti quei modelli organizzativi, sviluppati a partire dagli anni Sessanta, che hanno dato un impulso all’imprenditorialità e catalizzato, specialmente nei settori high-tech, la diffusione di alcuni meccanismi tipici di ciò che potrebbe definirsi un vero e proprio processo di industrializzazione nella creazione di imprese e prodotti (Hansen, M.T., 2014). Il Venture Builder è solo uno dei nuovi modelli organizzativi il cui business model si basa sulla creazione sistematica di nuove realtà imprenditoriali, a partire dalla primordiale particella fondante: l’idea. Se fino allo scorso secolo il concetto di idea mandasse a quello di una monade, frutto di un dono o di pura intuizione, nata per lo più da una situazione di necessità o alternativamente di opportunità; oggi, quella stessa idea si fa prodotto di un processo pensato e sistematico. Di fondamentale importanza diventa quindi la capacità dell’agente economico di far sì che l’inven- zione si faccia innovazione. L’innovazione è di fatti un processo “sociale e di natura dinamica”, ovvero, l’attuazione dell’invenzione latu sensu ed il suo sfruttamento commerciale. Su questi prin- cipi si fonda il Venture Building Model che non solo raccoglie l’eredità degli incubatori in senso stretto, come “botteghe rinascimentali in chiave moderna”, capaci di selezionare e supportare un progetto al fine di renderlo fruibile ai consumatori, ma si propone di rendere intrinseco “il fondatore ed il fondato”. Nel primo capitolo verranno forniti gli strumenti necessari a contestualizzare il fenomeno, introdu- cendo la nozione di “ecosistema imprenditoriale” e successivamente indagando in maniera più spe- cifica l’ecosistema delle startup. Attraverso l’illustrazione degli attori che si muovono all’interno di 5 questi ecosistemi dinamici, verranno evidenziate le differenze con il venture builder con lo scopo di definirne in un primo momento i tratti essenziali. Nel secondo capitolo verrà introdotto il venture capital al fine di poter successivamente compiere un raffronto tra lo stesso e lo start-up studio model, alias venture building model, nelle pratiche, nelle metodologie e nelle strutture organizzative. Il terzo capitolo si propone di portare all’attenzione del lettore due realtà europee attraverso le quali il fenomeno in questione si manifesta. In questo caso, le conoscenze non sono frutto unicamente della ricerca svolta ma anche dell’esperienza vissuta e delle informazioni direttamente raccolte all’interno dei due venture builders. Come verrà più volte sottolineato, l’obiettivo primario in questa sede sarà quello di muovere la curiosità del lettore verso un modello del tutto emergente, che coglie gli attuali trend nel campo dell’imprenditorialità e dell’innovazione. In sostanza, il lavoro che segue intende da un lato concorrere ad una sintetica illustrazione delle tipologio di organizzazioni presenti nell’industria del Venture Capital, e dall’altro portare alla luce un fenomeno relativamente emer- gente, quale il Venture Building

    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.
